Dimanche matin, rue St. Olivier entre côte St. Augustin et côte Ste. Geneviève, Quebec, 1976

Continental Galleries Inc., Montreal Private Collection, Ontario

John Little captures the charm and nostalgia of Quebec City's and Montreal's residential streets through much of his body of work. With particular attention paid to architectural accuracy - influenced by his time working with his father's architectural firm, Luke and Little - “Dimanche matin” exemplifies the artist's devotion to capturing the warm nostalgia of Quebec. Snowbank-lined walkways trampled down by pedestrians offers the viewer a decidedly inhabited feel as opposed to the barren landscapes of traditional Canadian art. The viewer is placed within the street walking behind the woman, perhaps even exiting a row home at the right edge of the composition, thus engaging the viewer as an active participant in the scene.
