About the Artwork

Joyeux is a 20" × 20" original acrylic on canvas painting by Josée Lord.

Joyeux builds a compact square still life around a broad rust-red vessel that occupies much of the lower-right half of the canvas. White blossoms and deep green leaves arc above and around it, extending beyond the vessel’s outline and creating an asymmetrical spread across the pale ground. Lord leaves dark contour drawing, scratched marks and passages of thicker paint visible throughout, allowing line and surface to remain active alongside the painted forms. The contrast between the warm red vessel, cool foliage and chalky white petals gives the composition a clear colour structure, while smaller blooms at the left and lower edge keep the arrangement open and irregular rather than tightly centred.

A square floral still life on a pale cream ground. A large rust-red vessel fills the lower-right portion, with green leaves and white flowers spreading across the upper half and left side. Several blossoms overlap the vessel, while one smaller white flower sits near the lower edge.

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.
