About the artist:
Born and raised on Bayou
Lafourche in Louisiana, Dolores Hebert Legendre remembers and cherishes in
her paintings the sceneries and lifestyles of Cajun life. Her works in oils,
watercolors, and pen and ink drawings depict the bayou scenes, plantation homes,
sugar mills, shrimp boats, and Creole cottages of today and yesterday.
Dolores considers herself
self-taught and feels for each painting as if it were a lesson. Her own
technique has been developing since 1973. Awards have been numerous. Her works
of art are represented in several local business collections and in nationwide
private collections. Some paintings have found homes in Europe.
Demonstrating her technique at
local festivals, Dolores has been praised for her detailed way of painting and
her natural colors.
