Artist’s statement . . . “I paint in oils in bold fresh color. My subjects include still life’s, interior settings, outdoor garden settings and a variety of landscapes en plein air. The ever-present beauty that god has created is what inspires me. I am but a sojourner leaving my mark and yielding to my desire. I can’t imagine doing anything else!
I accredit the works of such great masters as Sergei Bongart, Joaquin Sorolla and Franz Bischoff as being most influential in developing my own use of color, light and subtle grays.”
Le Grue holds membership in American Artists Profession League, American Impressionist Society, California Art Club, Oil Painters of America and En Couleur (group of six painters).
