Woman on the Towel 2021
The Blueberry Picker, 1959
Oil on canvas
Lucille Proulx
This is my first painting. It was completed during my first art course at Memorial University, in Newfoundland. I started an oil painting class to help me recover from a traumatic experience after the birth of my fourth child. This artwork is predictive, as it includes Rocky Mountains, which do not exist in Newfoundland.
photocopy print, Price: $50

Psy 3200 Blank, 1983
Chalk on black poster board.
I created this painting as my final project for Professor Blank's Personality Psychology course.
I reproduced it in an 8”x12” format and placed it in a folder. I got an “A”. On the opposite page,
I wrote "penis, rat, eye, becoming." In retrospect, it brings to mind Freud's theory through
which we can begin to understand the functions of sex drives within our personality. Skinner
using rats demonstrates the principles of conditioning and the effects of society on shaping
the individual. Frankl and the noological dimension theory explains the need for a belief that
we must go beyond ourselves to find a reason for being alive. Finally, Allport's theory is a
theory of today. He describes how we can go about living in the now, using the past as a
reference and becoming ourselves.

The Woman on the Towel, 2020
Charcoal on faded towel
Lucille Proulx
She appeared in late September 2020 when I decided to paint my rock garden. After sketching it in charcoal, I did not like the results. I wiped my canvas clean with this old, faded garden towel. The next morning, I picked up the towel and I saw the woman. I asked myself, "why did she come now?", "what does she really look like?", and "who is she?"

The Woman with the Paint Brush, 2021
Acrylic on canvas, found objects
Lucille Proulx
I immediately started to sketch her on my wiped canvas. It was a slow process, as I did not understand this woman. The work was slowed down as in January 2021, I was diagnosed with breast cancer and in February, I underwent surgery for a mastectomy. In March while recuperating, I continued working on the canvas image. I wonder now if the woman on the towel came to support me during this life and death experience?
