About the Artwork
Un beau jour d’été is a 30" × 24" original acrylic on canvas painting by Alain Bédard.
Un beau jour d’été stages an interior still life around an open window, linking a colourful room to a quieter rural view beyond. A yellow-backed chair and painted cabinet occupy the lower half, while blue, purple and terracotta vessels carry clusters of yellow, violet and red flowers. White shutters frame a distant pale house, dark slender trees and rolling hills. Bédard uses dark contour lines to separate furniture, plants and architecture, and sets saturated accents of cobalt, magenta, yellow and red against warm ochre walls. The vertical format leads the eye from the patterned chair and clustered pots upward through the window, where cooler blues and greens open the composition beyond the room.

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.
