Artist progression
Abstract  were my art studies, but the manner « Pluraliste » is suiting me and my association with the CAPSQ gives me the liberty to choose my way : generally “Abstract” in paintings and “Figurative” in my drawings. Painting with “ink rooler” and brushes.  At 69, I continue my works in an acrylic serial called “The Planet of cellulars”(2007-08). Will I have a Web site, maybe ?  Meanwhile, see “Index of Cdn Artists ... by Lareau” and see my artist cv and works on letter “B”.
