"Une belle bordée" is an original work by Pauline Larouche, created using acrylics and mixed media with collage of art papers on canvas. Inspired by the spectacular landscapes of the Mont Édouard resort in the Saguenay region, this painting captures the magic of a winter day when abundant fresh snow transforms the mountain into a vast playground.

From the summit of the slopes, the gaze travels to the majestic peaks of Montagne Blanche and, on a clear day, to the famous Saguenay Fjord . Collages subtly integrated into the composition reveal the colors and patterns of the mountains, adding depth, texture, and movement to the whole. The turquoise, white, and emerald hues evoke the luminous cold of the vast northern landscapes, while the colorful figures infuse warmth, energy, and conviviality.

Each skier tells a different story: some contemplate the landscape before their descent, others fully enjoy the freshly snow-covered slopes. The splashes of paint are reminiscent of snowflakes carried by the wind and accentuate the feeling of being in the heart of the storm.

This artwork will appeal to lovers of the mountains, alpine skiing, and Quebec landscapes. It will bring freshness, brightness, and dynamism to a contemporary, rustic, or Scandinavian décor. Thanks to its 8 x 10 inch format, it easily finds its place on its own or as part of a gallery wall dedicated to landscapes or outdoor memories.
