Madeleine Lemire
ORIENTation
A painting must be suggestive rather than representative.
My passion for painting has been consistently guided since childhood. A rigorous training in drawing and painting over several years. In oil painting, my interest in landscapes, flowers, still lifes undoubtedly leads to abstract expression. Colors bright enough to convey my vision of life.
Importance of the line: drawing being an essential part of the grammar of painting.
Madeleine LEMIRE, R.C.A.
