THE ARCTIC: STEPHEN CARON, 1995

10 X 12

Oil on Canvas.

(A ship called "The Arctic")

I completed this painting 'on the spot' during an early morning excursion to East Montreal during the summer of 1995.

I shipped it to my mother in Florida.

Following her death, I recently sought to bring it home.

The frame was destroyed during a car crash (The painting was pried from the wreck of my car on May 26, 2010 near Tampa, Florida.)

I am thankful that the (stretched) canvas survived.

I have never copied the style of any artist before me; but as I renew my familiarity with this work, I am reminded of the paintings of J.M.W. TURNER, British forerunner of the French Impressionist movement.

The painting is for sale. $890
