Back in
1984, I began working with a private tutor in Farnham, Quebec. Madame
Provencher painted in oils primarily, but at eighty years old her
hands were beginning to shake and she was no longer able to paint
with the precision she expected of herself. She began working more
with watercolour and other mediums. I have very fond memories of the
times she and I spent together developing me as an artist.
This
picture is mixed medium, primarily charcoal and pencil, with the
flower in her hair and the beads on her earring in white oil paint.
She helped me create this in my first lessons and it is the oldest
work in my collection. There is a companion picture done right after
this that is not currently on the site. I know where it is and once
we've uploaded and prepared the image it will be added. The second I
did entirely by myself.
The
original does exist but is not for sale. It is a memory of my tutor
that means far too much to me personally. Prints and other products
of course are available for sale through my Fine Art America account.
To get there you only have to click on the image itself.
