Art is not about  thinking something up.   It is the opposite --  getting something down

Welcome

Quote:   “Every   child   is   an   artist.   The   problem   is   how   to   remain   an artist once we grow up.”  Welcome to my website.  Born in Montreal, Quebec and lived in Toronto for many years, I have finally settled in a small town east of Toronto - Port Hope.   It is known for its lovingly restored 19 th  century homes, excellent salmon fishing along the Ganaraska River, the Capital Theatre – one of Canada’s last remaining atmospheric theatres and a historic site and we have “Float your Fanny Down the Ganny” and more. I started painting with oils back in 1972, and lately have been trying to learn watercolors & pen.   Most of my subjects are captured from photos I have taken, from friends or found online.   I hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoy creating them.  My watercolor series includes: Florida birds, retired life, families, cycling and running.... as the enjoyment of life goes on... so will my sketches.    All are originals.  So no two are alike!  LJR Studio - Acrylic Paintings
