Raynald Leclerc

Like a hunter, #Raynald #Leclerc stalks the beauty of the landscape that surrounds Quebec City.

His preliminary work is done on-site where he sketches the outlines of a scene and takes photographs, later he finishes the work in his studio and his sensibilities take over.

Leclerc paints with a rare skill, providing us with images that are filled with wonder and that waken our longing for a nostalgic rural paradise.

As an artist, Leclerc has been profoundly influenced by growing up next to the St. Lawrence River and the way that light moves in a thousand ways with the river, and the immensity of space the river engenders.

His spatula work on oils reflects an instant ability to capture light and an acute sense of observation.

Using oil and painting knife, Raynald captures the light and shadow of gardens as well as wider vistas such as urban scenes, ports and the rolling hills of the Laurentians.
