This painting is a celebration of Brigus, Newfoundland, and the cherished memories tied to its annual Blueberry Festival. At the heart of the piece, a vase brims with golden sunflowers, their bold, radiant petals capturing the warmth of summer. Below them, ripe blueberries spill from a basket, their deep, rich hues a nod to the sweet bounty that Brigus is known for. The interplay of these elements reflects the vibrancy of life in this historic town.
 
For me, this painting is deeply personal—a tribute to my mother and grandmother, whose roots run deep in Brigus. It’s a reflection of family gatherings, stories shared, and the traditions that bind us together. The blueberries symbolize both the festival and the legacy of those who came before me, grounding this piece in the love and history that Brigus holds.
