Title: Painting named *Roper*
Post by: antiquerose123 on August 24, 2008, 06:45:53 AM

Hi, Just got this at a garage sale for $10 bucks.  It is quite large at 2 ft 8 inches x 2 ft 4 inches.  Not sure what it is painted on, but I just kinda liked it.  Have not be able to find anything on the artist yet... :sign_help:

TIA

Aime l'Heureux seems to be a painter from Lake Cowichan, Vancouver, but the pages coming up in searches no longer exist and aren't cached

Thanks **both** of you guys (I mean GALS) for that...
:hug: :hug: (one for each of you)


I couldn't find a thing.  On what page is there something about (her) in the PDF thing...I scanned though it with my eyes, but nothing *popped* out right now....or did I miss it?  I kinda like the painting though...

Use the search (binoculars) in Reader to find it Rose. It was a small box out bottom left of one of the pages.

I tried the binoculars...and still got nothing.  Maybe I am doing something wrong...I'll try some more, and look some more...

I found a "Aim? L'Heureux grew up in North Battleford and moved to Winnipeg at age 18 to study art".....on the net.  

?? ?? ?? I also found a Aimee L'Heureux (Associate Editor) on this page here....and also see article written on page 12/of 48 in this link  HERE  (http://www.history.uh.edu/public_history/houston_history_project/houston_review/pdfs/v7n1.pdf).  Not sure IF the same person as one first name has only one E, and the other two E's ?? ?? ?? ??

Gee, also if you look through there -- there are some $$$ for Western Art  :o :o :thd:

ADDED:

I also found this Genealogy about a Aime L'Heureux that says "Born November 8, 1936" and scroll to +134 of the genealogy number to see this (From Saskatchewan, also).  Gee we share the Same birth-date....lol:

http://www.happyones.com/genealogy/lheureux/moise/first-two-generations.pdf (http://www.happyones.com/genealogy/lheureux/moise/first-two-generations.pdf)

Could be the right person if born in 1936 (this painting is dated 1983) so could be ?? ??

I also found in McCord University a picture (old photo) of a L. Heureux Farm (of cattle) at North Battleford -- Which is a couple hours away from where I am.  So maybe the same person

Also some ?? info  HERE  (http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:K84dUj0M2iAJ:www.cityofmelfort.ca/City_Hall/City_Facilities/Melfort_MultUse_Facility/Upcoming_Events/+Sherven-Smith+Art+Gallery+New+Exhibit+-+Aime+L%27Heureux&cd=2&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=ca&source=www.google.ca)  See the highlighted words for the name.
