The sweet aroma of the few vibrant flowers on the flat plateau, and the intoxicating sensation
falling from a Eucalyptus tree. The air is still and the sun remains hidden behind the fog. We walk farther into the canyon and come across several manmade structures. A small footbridge over a gentle stream and a rock arch inviting hikers into the hills are reminders of what man can do to enhance nature’s beauty.

land of Quebec. Through the use of Impressionism and pastel hues, Gagnon is able to capture the duality of nature and French-Canadian culture. The theme naturally represented is that of a backcountry; a straggling village on the outskirts among the hills, suppressed under an enveloping blanket of untouched snow, with a quiet and restrained beauty of its own.
