Reflections on Black River, Oil

About Judy Plomer

One of the most wonderful gifts I ever received was a wooden paint box filled with oil paints and how to paint booklets. Unfortunately, it took me over 20 years to finally find the time to enroll in art workshops and study with many outstanding artists in Toronto, Unionville, Ottawa, and The Laurentians to begin my artful journey.

Living in the beautiful island community of Prince Edward County, I am fortunate to be inspired daily to paint the birch groves, sand dunes, vineyards, bountiful gardens and pristine waterways that surround me. My work is bold, bright, colourful and full of texture with strong brushstrokes. I want the viewer to feel excited, happy… to see and feel the love I have for my County…. for my country. To me there is nothing more breathtaking than the Canadian landscape.

I marked my debut as an artist in 1999 in Art In The County, was honoured to receive a Juror’s Award in 2009 for my pastel work “Poppy Passion,” and have continued to enter, support and be accepted into this annual first class event for many years.
