Carenie Little My brother and sister-in-law spent the Christmas holidays with us. Two weeks flew by like a soaring eagle and in what seems like a blink of an eye we were driving them to the airport to return to Whitefish, Ontario.
Terry, is a carbon copy of his brother right down to their winter Tilly hats. Intelligent, gentle of character and very helpful in the kitchen. We “Little” women scored big in the hubby department. Our guys are handsome and handy! I brag on my guy so much I joke there will be a long line of single women bringing casseroles to the door if I croak before him…..especially rug hookers, with an eye on all my wool, a great guy and four fabulous pups…...a very attractive package indeed.
Terry’s wife Carenie is a very passionate artist who lives and breathes her craft. Although Carenie paints mostly in acrylic, she incorporates collage techniques, using layers of fabric as background and texture. Her love of painting is only superseded by her love of drawing and sketches.
One of her most influential mentors is Brian Ateyo, a highly respected artist currently displaying works at Harbour Gallery in Toronto. Brian has praised her unique portrayal and interpretations of human emotion. He writes, "You are truly one of the 'ONES"......your reasoning and analysis is bang on." We are very pleased to receive a painting for Christmas and now have two so we can brag we have a private collection of her work!
The above piece is called Life’s Complexities. I asked for an interpretation and this is what she said.
“Life is very complex. For instance, if you see an ordinary, everyday person you may assume they have a relatively ordinary life. Then you meet them and you discover that their lives are very complex and it changes your outlook of that person. You stop viewing them in an ordinary way. You realize that they are very complex so I paint an ordinary person in a very complex way.
