The PEGG

January, 2001

You could say they put the "present" into president. During the Past Presidents' Society Reception on Nov. 22, at the D.A. Lindberg Conference Centre, APEGGA's leaders from years gone by presented their association with an original painting by O.N. (Rick) Grandmaison, 1932-1985. The son of indigenous portrait painter Nicholas de Grandmaison, Mr. Grandmaison studied at the Banff School of Fine Arts, the Chelsea School, in London, England, and later under his father at the Winnipeg School of Art. Many of his scenes were painted near his studio at Red Deer Lake, capturing the essence of southwest Alberta.
