Early Winter Morning in the Woods, Baie-Saint-Paul 1924

"Early Winter Morning in the Woods, Baie-Saint-Paul" is a 1924 oil painting by Canadian artist Clarence Gagnon. The painting depicts a tranquil scene of a winter morning in the woods near the town of Baie-Saint-Paul in Quebec. Two figures stand in the snow-covered forest, one bundled up against the cold and the other with his back to the viewer, while a horse-drawn cart rests in the background. Gagnon's work often captured the beauty of the Canadian landscape, particularly the charm of his home province of Quebec. This painting exemplifies the artist's signature use of light and color to create a sense of peace and serenity, a hallmark of his landscape paintings.
