ELEANOR ROBERTSON

Eleanor Robertson began her artistic endeavour 35 years ago in Hamilton, Ontario after the birth of her first child when she had more time to do this.  She took top honours at the fifth annual Saskatchewan Alberta Visual Arts Guild juried art show at the Barr Colony Heritage Cultural Centre.  She won best painting for her piece called "Ladyslippers".

 Eleanor enjoys exploring different techniques and media, but most of her recent works are in watercolour and soft pastels.

While she enjoys using a wide variety of subjects for artistic composition, Eleanor is particularly fascinated by the prairie landscape in all its seasons and moods. Animals, birds, flowers or people are often a part of her realistic landscape painting. these subjects are very popular with those who appreciate local art.

Several limited edition prints and hasty notes have been produced from  Eleanor's original oils, watercolours and pastels.  These, as well as many original paintings, are available at Artistic Framing/Art Gallery in Maidstone, Saskatchewan which is owned and operated by Eleanor and her husband, Richard.  Visitors are always welcome to the gallery.
