This is a series about Canadian
artists I have know, and worked with.
I
can’t remember the exact circumstances of meeting Marg and Kenny Lamendeau. I
think Marg had enquired about becoming an exhibitor at the Cobourg Waterfront
Festival in the Lions/Lioness Art Show and Sale. Whatever the circumstances, we formed a
closed bond shortly thereafter. Marg became a valued customer and Marg and
Kenny became close friends! Marg was one of the top selling artists at the
Cobourg Show and was always in the top 5 in sales. Cobourg wasn’t the only show
she exhibited at. AS a matter of fact, I think they were at one show or another
almost every weekend during the summer and fall months. It was a very tough
schedule and one that they tired of after several years on the road. I think the
funniest moment in our relationship came when I was delivering a load of
freshly framed prints to her at one of the International Plowing Matches.
