Champs de soleil | 30" x 36"
About the Artwork
Champs de soleil is a 30" × 36" original acrylic on canvas painting by Alain Bédard.
Large sunflower heads fill the foreground of Champs de soleil, their yellow petals and brown centres held above broad green leaves. Beyond these close, individually outlined plants, the flowers gather into a dense band of smaller blooms that leads towards ochre and cream houses. Red-tiled roofs, dark shutters and repeated windows give the buildings a measured rhythm against the abundance of the field.
A broad green tree anchors the right side, its rounded crown echoing the low hills behind the houses. Blue sky and small white clouds open the upper part of the painting. The changing scale of the sunflowers gives the scene depth while preserving the clear contours and strong colour divisions throughout.

Artwork Care
CARING FOR YOUR ARTWORK
Display
Hang artwork away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and air vents. UV exposure causes fading over time — UV-protective glazing is recommended for works on paper and photography. Avoid hanging artwork above fireplaces or in bathrooms where heat and humidity fluctuate.
Cleaning
Dust frames gently with a soft, dry cloth. Never use household cleaners, water, or solvents on the artwork surface. For oil paintings, a soft-bristle brush can be used lightly to remove surface dust. Professional cleaning is recommended for valuable or delicate pieces.
Temperature & Humidity
Maintain a stable environment — ideally 18–22°C (65–72°F) with 40–55% relative humidity. Rapid changes in temperature or humidity can cause warping, cracking, or flaking. In Alberta’s dry climate, a humidifier can help protect your collection during winter months.
Handling & Moving
Always handle artwork with clean, dry hands or cotton gloves. Carry framed works by the sides of the frame — never by the hanging wire. When transporting, wrap in acid-free tissue or soft blankets and keep upright. For valuable pieces, professional art handlers and custom crating are recommended.
Storage
Store artwork upright in a cool, dry, dark space. Use acid-free materials for wrapping. Never store artwork in attics, basements, or garages where temperature and humidity are uncontrolled.
Insurance
We recommend insuring your art collection. An up-to-date appraisal (every 2–3 years) ensures proper coverage. West End Gallery offers professional appraisal services — please enquire for details.
