Bette Belanger
Oil
My art explores the rugged diversity found in the North American landscape in an impressionistic style. I use oils alla prima when painting en plein aire to keep the sketch fresh and immediate.
I find painting outdoors very addictive. The pursuit of capturing the landscape as you see it is always a struggle and challenge. I feel that this is translated to my work through my brush strokes. The light changes fast so you need to work quickly. Decipher the scene compose it and paint. There is no time for anything else. I am driven to paint on a daily basis throughout the year.
When I am not painting outdoors I will develop my smaller sketches into larger studio works.
Currently, my work is being exhibited at the Rothwell Gallery and Foyer Gallery, in Ottawa.
