Bonnie View Inn hosting Jacqueline Morin-Proud

Artist Inspiration

Renewal – an instance of resuming an activity or state after an interruption…
This painting called Kids Play captures the moment where memories are made and renewed every summer. We missed it last year, but we’ve got it back this summer.
The whiff of “cottage air’.
The cool water on that first jump into the lake.
The first card game of the year.
The visit of family you haven’t seen for a year.
The laughter.
The feel of sunshine.
This composition captures renewal to me. We can hear the splash. It refreshes us. It makes us remember. It makes us smile. It makes us happy. It brings back great memories and renews our spirits.

Artist Statement

My paintings are inspired by an image that triggers an emotion; a look or a scene that brings back memories. What I aim to capture in my painting is that feeling or mood. I may work each section of a painting two or three times until I feel I have achieved the desired detail. This process evolves over several days and sometimes even weeks. Once completed, I like to give it time to do its thing and grab my attention. My subject matter does vary since each is selected to evoke a sense of warmth and joy!
My motto: To create beautiful things that bring back great memories and evoke a sense of joy
