SARA PECK COLBY
PAINTINGS FROM HERE
July 8 - July 21 2007

I have been painting the landscapes around the Eastern Townships of Quebec for over thirty years. I use my work as a form of communication, endeavouring to touch the viewer with a memory of a favourite time of day, a season or an angle of light. My paintings evoke walks in fields or quiet country roads, bunches of wildflowers. I use patterns and rhythms, shadows, branches, distant fields, to show informal glimpses of peaceful life. With a strong sense of design, my paintings sometimes verge on abstract. I paint from life. I paint to tell surprise and delight in what I see.
