Canadian Artist Denis Palmer: Homage to a Rural Life

I have been drawing and painting the people and events of my community, Sawyerville, Qc. and its surroundings, since I arrived here in 1979. I am attracted to the character of the people, the work they do, the pace of their lives, the manner in which they seek to maintain harmony with their surroundings, and their responses to change and the passage of time. In conversation, I record their knowledge of family, ancestry, community; their long memories for patterns of weather and the seasons, the joyful and difficult times of their past, as well as the flavour of their speech. Homage to a Rural Life is a visual and oral record of lives lived and living yet in this place through drawings, watercolour paintings and text.
