for Michel Latreille, by Susan Latreille

Inspired by Lynne Ayer’s post about her very first watercolour, I decided to share some of my husband Michel Latreille’s earlier woodcarvings.

The scene of the cabin by the water is his first-ever woodcarving.

The log house was done less than a year later and won 5th place in the novice category at Toronto’s CNE.

The flower carving was done in later years and the goose in flight was the beginning of Michel’s turnaround from bas-relief carving to ‘in-the-round’ or 3-dimensional carving.
