Welcome to the official online fine art gallery of Christine Montague, Canadian Portrait Painter, Artist & Photographer. Christine Montague is an award winning visual fine artist who paints realistic, representational oil paintings of children outdoors, portraits and nature. Christine is also an emerging fine art nature & garden photographer.
The realistic scenic figurative (or figurative landscapes) oil paintings by artist Christine Montague are usually of children at play outdoors in the landscape. Share in the wonder, beauty, and innocence of a child in a moment of contemplation, discovery and play in these small to large oil paintings on canvas of children, building sand castles at the beach, playing "King of the Castle" in the park, or, as in "The 24", attempting to climb what must seem like a castle wall - the War Memorial in Ottawa, Ontario.
Christine Montague is also passionate about her realistic, traditional portraiture oil painting. Her portraits can be formal or informal, interiors or outdoors. In 2008, Christine was honoured to have been chosen to paint the late great Dr. Oscar Peterson (Living Arts Centre, Mississauga, Ontario, Canada). But Christine is as equally honoured to have been chosen to bring the spirit, dignity, & likeness of any of her clients' loved or honoured ones to canvas. Christine is equally comfortable & passionate at painting small canvases, larger than life oil portraits, head and shoulder portraits, full body, single and group portraits. As well as painting portraiture of children, men, women, and the occasional pet, Christine has painted the official university of the Dean of Dentistry (McGill University, Montreal, Quebec, Canada)), an RCMP officer , and a Lorne Scott military portrait.
