We went visiting various small galleries in Montreal on Friday but our best experience by far was when we got to visit this artist's studio (we were given a tour by his assistant). As you can imagine everything else we saw paled after seeing these monumental and sensitive works.

| Where it all happens |
 |
| The artist paints famous people (usually French) once they are dead, using photographs of them as children. |
 |
| Ooooo! Colours! |
 |
| Layers upon layers of paper are used in combination with gauche, charcoal and occasionally gold-leaf |
