TAVERN SCENE: STEPHEN CARON, 1971.
Oil on canvas
20" X 30"
This painting was completed during the winter of my second year at Dawson College (Montreal) in 1971. It was given as a gift to my parents. Years later it was returned to me when they began to travel extensively. I reframed it. I was heavily influenced by the 'Old Masters' during my first years in college and (then) university. I loved the play of light/dark and the intimacy portrayed in works by Rembrandt and others. While this earlier work is subdued in tone, I believe I set forth a richness of color; and the subject matter has drawn interest from many viewers over the years.
THIS PAINTING IS NOT FOR SALE.

Hi Stephen, I remember seeing this painting shortly after you did it and I was in awe at the time. After looking at the rest of your work, it is obvious that you are extremely talented.
Hope to re-connect with you when I'm visiting Montreal (hopefully in the near future).
