“River’s Bend” by Michel-Paul Cyr

In River’s Bend, Michel-Paul Cyr invites the viewer into a quiet, open landscape shaped by water and sky. A gentle curve of river leads the eye through tall grasses and wildflowers, their soft whites and greens animated by loose, painterly brushwork. The land stretches outward in subtle bands of color, meeting a wide, luminous sky that conveys both space and calm.

Cyr’s restrained palette and attentive handling of light create a sense of unhurried movement, as if the scene is caught in a fleeting, contemplative moment. The foreground path and riverbank suggest human presence without intrusion, allowing nature to remain the central voice. River’s Bend reflects a deep sensitivity to place—celebrating the quiet beauty of rural waterways and the meditative rhythm of the natural world.
