I’ve spent the past week working on 2 Mini pieces with scenes of Québec City – as the starting 2 works of a series celebrating Canada’s 150th birthday. I chose to paint images of this city first because I adore it. Yesterday afternoon (Sunday), I finished the second piece of the wonderful Rue Saint-Louis, and then, like the rest of the world, got the news of the horrific shootings in Québec City.
This morning, I’ve been looking at these 2 finished pieces and the news, and feeling a multitude of feelings. I must have typed and deleted this post at least 10 times, pouring out these thoughts. And here on draft #11, I’ve arrived back to where I had originally started – wanting to show my love for Québec City through my art.
Sending healing love to all in this truly beautiful city, and I look forward to visiting soon!

Art We Wonderful by Marion Younan 
These are beautiful!
Thank you, Arja!
ohh yes Québec City – that was a sad news. Loved your paintings of beautiful city 😍
and I do remember about your series celebrating Canada’s 150th birthday, eager to see that too 💜
Thanks, Snehal! These 2 are part of a number of pieces I hope to get done this year for Canada’s 150th. Not sure how many I’ll be able to do, but aiming for at least 12.
That’s awesome Marion 👍🏼
So senseless and so very, very difficult. I have never visited, but now my heart says go…. and I will, to sketch and mourn and be ever grateful I have art as an outlet, an antidote to tragedy.
Yes, Sheryl, I hear you! I hope you get to Québec soon!
Nice art
Glad you liked it! Thanks!
Amazing 😃
Merci! Thanks!
The post was perfect – and the art wonderful. I love Quebec City.
Lisa, another Quebec City fan! Thanks so much for your kind words!
Wow!! These are so beautiful! You’re very talented! I can’t paint like that… I’m lucky I’m a decent drawer lol 🙂
Hi, Meghan! Happy that you liked these pieces – means a lot coming from a fellow drawer!
You’re welcome! 🙂
Nice works, and so detailed even they are so small.
Thanks, Taia!
