Bev Hanna & Lu Robitaille | |
|
Huronia artists Lu Robitaille and Beverley Hanna have been painting
together for over a decade, and often appear in the same shows, but this is the first time they
have featured together. Hanna says, "Lu is a brilliant watercolourist, using a unique impasto technique I've seen nowhere else. Her miniatures have to be seen to be believed." |

Robitaille smiles as she describes her friend's animal art. "It's unbelievable... photographic
in its realism. I've seen people with their noses pressed to the glass, trying to see her
brushstrokes." |

|
Known primarily as a miniaturist, Lu Robitaille's love and passion for the Georgian Bay area
shine through every brushstroke of her paintings which range in size from two inches to three
feet. Bev Hanna lovingly documents the animals she paints with an often surprising sense of
humour. Bev is renowned for her commitment to charitable organizations. Her "Joy of Animals" painting
which has been reproduced in poster form has been one of the OSPCA's best fundraisers. |
