Apaisant et calme

Original artwork.
In Apaisant et calme (30 x 30, acrylic on canvas), Clarence Bourgoin—the “landscape hunter”—captures a Canadian winter dusk: snow-laden evergreens, a meandering violet path, and a peach-turquoise sky. His lively brush/knife work and luminous palette (violets, ochres, turquoise) convey calm while retaining the expressive intensity that defines his practice. An immersive scene where fading light soothes without dimming the color’s vitality.
