Sun Setting on Laurier: A watercolour painting by Maurice Dionne
"Sun Setting on Laurier," a captivating watercolour painting by Maurice Dionne, beautifully encapsulates the essence of an Ottawa evening. The artwork portrays a bustling streetscape at sunset, where the warm hues of yellows, browns, and oranges blend seamlessly to create an inviting atmosphere. The sun is still high enough that you know you can still enjoy the last remnants of the day.
In this vibrant scene, we witness life in motion; pedestrians navigate their way through the city with purpose and energy. The shimmering outlines of their figures evoke a sense of warmth and connection amidst the urban hustle. Dionne’s choice of colour not only enhances the beauty of the sunset but also invites viewers to immerse themselves in this lively moment—one that captures both tranquility and vibrancy inherent in city life.
There is beauty to be found in everyday scenes. The painting serves as an invitation to pause and appreciate how warmth can radiate from both nature and human interactions within our cities.
