René Rivard, Artist

I paint because I must.

If I knew the words, I would not need to paint.

Painting is a journey within, a dialogue with myself.

The product is a feeling words cannot express, like the gentle loving caress of a warm summer breeze against your cheek.

The dream is to capture a fleeting moment of nature’s beauty so that others may enjoy.

The hope is to recall the peaceful strength of a world that man has not troubled.

Painting is a journey into the unknown, a dialogue with the world.

I would paint even if I knew the words.

I paint because I must.
