Daily Paintings by Mario Beaudoin

A Year in the Life of established Quebec artist Mario Beaudoin chronicled in ‘Daily Paintings’
Beginning the first of March 2009,established Quebec artist Mario Beaudoin has been creating a unique work of art daily. He plans to create a year's worth of paintings in this visual diary using his palette and brushes recording the life of the artist, his many travels and the beautiful landscapes, villages and people of Eastern Canada and the United States.

The paintings will be available to see each day along with the artists’ thoughts on his website mariobeaudoin.com. “I encourage people to come frequently to see what is new on the site and share with me their special days," explained Mario Beaudoin. “I think the sources of painting, and of art generally, are in all of us. They flow from some reservoir which is mysterious and universal."

Each painting will be available for purchase. For new collectors, art enthusiasts, and patrons this is a unique opportunity to own part of this one of-a-kind collection. Each buyer will also receive a companion book at the end of the year, with pictures of all 365 paintings. This book will also include a signed certificate of authenticity.

About Mario Beaudoin.
Mario Beaudoin is a painter whose reputation has grown tremendously with works showing across the country and internationally. Drawing from his Quebecois heritage
and his joie de vivre, Mario’s paintings express his passion for color and form. His
paintings engage us with the abstraction of physical and personal landmarks while
flattening form into shape, and in his daring and balanced use of color. Mario writes of art making, “I am energized by cold winter nights, snow covered pine trees and the last warm days of autumn, all of which exhibit different variations of lights and shadows. I can't resist the drama as well as the serenity of an old church steeple and the Quebecois architecture rising out of a quiet village to inspire me to create painting that reflects scenes I have enjoyed all of my life.”


Mario Beaudoin exhibits works in galleries across Canada, and is represented by Tay River Gallery, contemporary fine art gallery in Perth Ontario. See a selection of his works available at the gallery on his artist page on the Tay River Gallery website.
