Ridgefest, Ridgeway, ON (2024) by Peter Cheung captures the energy of Ridgefest, a summer street festival in Ridgeway, Fort Erie, Ontario. Painted in oil on canvas, the 16 x 20 in composition features loosely rendered people gathered under vendor tents and trees, set against a vivid blue sky. Cheung uses quick, expressive brushstrokes and a saturated palette of greens, yellows, blues, and reds. Cheung's impressionistic style emphasizes light and atmosphere over fine detail. 

Ridgefest is a yearly summer festival held in downtown Ridgeway, full of family- friendly activities, market vendors, live entertainment and fundraising. Peter Cheung will return this summer to paint another plein air scene of this festival.
