  Her whole being, all that she is, is wrapped up in this small food vendor's stall. I'm sure this typical woman of Jamaica, with her enterprising spirit could do well elsewhere in this grand world, but this is to be her lot in life.  
 
 
Artist Statement
 

I stare at a blank painting surface before me and can readily visualize the completed work.

For me, light, the consequent contrasts of shadow on forms, the employment of striking colour, and strong composition are of the utmost importance in every painting regardless of subject matter. This, complemented by the positioning of critical colour masses within its structure are what makes it all come together.

Although most viewers do, I don't consider my paintings highly detailed but more natural to our eye, as though together we've frozen a moment in our lives.

 
 
Biography
 

Born in Toronto, Lanny now resides in the picturesque fishing village of Port Dover, Ontario.

His original business career directed him toward the corporate world where he achieved highly measurable success in several executive capacities with major Canadian companies. Tiring of the business environment, in 1980 he began to take his potential art career far more seriously. He commenced painting full time in 1982.

In a short period of time he has once again achieved highly measurable success. Lanny's paintings now hang in private collections throughout Canada, many parts of the United States and much of Europe, South Africa, Mexico, all of the U.K., Brazil, Jamaica, Australia and Israel.

Lanny is a self taught artist who has experimented in every medium, including sculpture and silk screen printing, but now concentrates his efforts in oils, watercolours and acrylics, and in that order of preference. He explains that "alternating within three media is both a challenge and a pleasure." Although he is highly recognized for his superb renderings of the human figure he paints any subject from life that appeals to him. His realistic style, with a touch of impressionism, tends to tell a story about the subject itself.

His reputation as a Canadian artist of considerable and varied skill continues to grow.
