Maple Syrup Season is an original work that pays homage to one of Quebec's most cherished traditions: maple syrup season. Part of the Winter Sports series, this painting evokes that unique moment in April when snow still lingers while nature gently heralds the arrival of spring. Maple syrup producers temporarily leave the ski slopes to dedicate themselves to harvesting maple sap, an activity deeply rooted in our heritage.

In this luminous composition, two hikers make their way leisurely on snowshoes or cross-country skis toward a cozy sugar shack nestled in the heart of the mountains. Collages integrated into the artwork gave birth to the figures and the shack, creating a subtle dialogue between texture, material, and paint. The mountainous terrain is enriched with art papers whose patterns bring depth, movement, and character to the landscape.

The vibrant colors of pink, purple, orange, and blue illuminate the whiteness of the snow and capture all the magic of sunny late-winter days. The bare trees create a delicate graphic pattern that naturally guides the eye to the mountains in the distance, reminiscent of Quebec's iconic landscapes.

This artwork celebrates both the joy of the outdoors and family traditions. It invites the viewer to slow down, breathe in the fresh air, and relive those precious memories of visits to the sugar shack. "Sugar Season" is a warm painting that brings color, authenticity, and poetry to any living space.
