LATE BEGINNINGS - DÉBUTS TARDIFS

Image
  English Version - *version française dessous*    LATE BEGINNINGS My first wife bought me a paint set for Christmas in 1988.   It was a beginners set for oil painting and had a small 5" x 7" canvas along with an instruction booklet on how to paint several different images.     In the spring of 1989, I tried it out.   Because I have kept a daily diary since the age of 23, I know the exact date.   It was Sunday, April 16 th , 1989.   I choose a winter farm scene and carefully followed the instructions.   To be frank, it was almost like “paint-by-numbers” but without the lines and numbers!   After about five hours of effort, I told myself "nice try... Don't quit your day time job!"   At that point in time, I had no intention of continuing and put the painting and the set on a shelf in my garage. I literally forgot about it for about three weeks. Then on Satu...

MY EARLIEST PAINTING - MA PREMIÈRE PEINTURE

Image
English Version - *version française dessous*  MY EARLIEST PAINTING I have no recollection of my first painting efforts.   Nevertheless, I was told about it many times as I grew up.   My parents moved into a duplex on Patricia Avenue in NDG, a suburb of Montreal two weeks before I was born.   My Grandfather and my Uncle Bob lived on the first floor and we lived above them.   I was the first of four kids.   Apparently, if I had been a girl, my parents were going to name me “Patricia” after the street.   PHOTO/S: ROSANNE, STEPHEN & ME WITH GRANDPA   Both Mom and Dad worked.   During the day, Grandpa and Uncle Bob took care of me and in the summer they used to put me in backyard so I would not wake up my newly arrived siblings, Rosanne and Stephen, twins who arrived two years after me followed by my youngest brother Robby, a year after the twins.     According to f...

RAGS TO RICHES

Image
   English Version - *version française dessous* RAGS TO RICHES It was my parent’s story that inspired me to create my “Rags to Riches” collection of paintings.   Dad was a soldier posted in London during World War II. In 1943, he met and married my British Mother. After the war, they started with very little. Dad worked as a courier for a jewelry company and Mom worked part time as a bookkeeper… all while raising four young children. In 1958, they bought a small jewelry company. That is the “ Rags ” part.     My parents did not leave my three siblings or me a lot of money.   They gave us unconditional love… “ Riches ” which were far more valuable than anything else they could have given us. For me, “ Riches ” is not about money or the wealth someone accumulates during their lifetime... it is what you give to others. It is the legacy that you leave behind and it comes in many forms.   Think about the painter Claude Monet.   He started wi...
