George Perdue - Cockinelle Studios

Oil Painting
(Guest Artist - at Paper Daisies Studio)
(905) 873-2517

The essence of the place is important to me.  To achieve this I paint on site in all seasons.  In nature, one experiences what a camera cannot.  Her colours, composition, abstract shapes, light and its changes, exquisite edge control, and the sounds and smells translate with immediacy and emotion.

Oil Painter
(Guest Artist - showing at Jennifer McKinnon's)

December Star Farm  Living in Hillsburgh, it is not difficult to find beautiful backgrounds that are suitable for my artwork.  Colour, texture and movement are all important elements I try to achieve with each  painting.  It is relaxing to sit down and plan my next project.  Each is as unique and individual as the horse portrayed.
