As one of the last plein air painters of his time, George Paginton carrying his paint box created a visual record of Île d'Orléans and discovered the simplicity of rural Quebec along every road. Paginton’s affection for the landscape is vividly represented in the quiet beauty of life on the farm. His favourite location to paint, Paginton visited Quebec numerous times over his lifetime.
