Survivors (2015)

Survivors (2015)
16x20 Oil on Canvas
by
Daniel Cormier
A nautical study in oils. A storm is breaking. Rough waves threaten sailors in life boats as they draw together. Living near the sea all my life I've developed a passion for  nautical subjects. Studying paintings by Turner led me to create this scene with men with an uncertain future. SOLD

Old Fishing Shack, Prospect, NS (2014)

Old Fishing Shack, Prospect, NS (2014)
12x16 Oil on Canvas
by
Daniel Cormier
It's a beautiful day where you're standing on the coast of Nova Scotia. The ocean breeze is washing over you. You feel a connection to this place. A single fishing shack is perched on a rocky outcrop.  This is a precarious existence; It's old wooden beams cry arrogance and yet they seem permanent; transfixed to the landscape in which they are necessary.  SOLD

Place Emile Goudeau, Montmartre, Paris (2014)

Place Emile Goudeau, Montmartre, Paris (2014)
24x18 Oil on Canvas
by
Daniel Cormier
It's late November and the leaves are gone. The weather is good but you need a coat today here in the historic Place Emile Goudeau which is shaded by unseen buildings on the left. Students are walking. Two women share a bench. This place is special for artists who know that the young Picasso and other post-impressionists lived and painted here on the square. SOLD
