The Car Artist relearning how to paint after stroke *from SEVEN on page 10 As a teenager, another of Ms Clements teachers noticed her talent and submitted her drawings of plant life to the Royal Drawing Society in England. She won s silver medal. After that, wherever Ms'Clements went, sine could be found sketching and painting people, Isndscapes and scenery. Ms Clemenîs, 88, has been to the east coast of Canada, where she csptured the now famous scene of a red and white iighthouse overlooking the ocean. The picture wss recenîiy rediscovered by Ms Clemenîs stepson Don, who presented it to the artist on Tuesdsy. Il was the first time she had seen the picture in 15 years and it immediately brought back memories. "It wss cold that day," she said. "I nearly froze to deaîh." It wasn't the fn-st lime Ms Ciements almost scar- ified herself for ber art. In 1943, Ms Clements and a friend were in the village of Poriock Weir in Engiand. Ms Ciements was sketctsing the shoreline. At that point in the war, the British were expeet- ing a German invasion and it was illegai for peo- ple to photogrspb the iandscape in fear it wouid fait into enemy hands. 'Me pair was arresîed by the miiitary police four days before D-Day, but were reieased, Ms Cements said. Ms Clements thought the sketches were confis- cated by the military police, but the sketchbook was recentiy discovered in a box and wiii be avait- able at the show. Ms Clements is a firm believer in .continuing education. Tbrougbout ber life, if she wsnted 10 ieamn a new medium or technique, she would sim- piy go back to scbool to accomplish the goal. At 88, she is again relearning ber art. A stroke four years ago bas rendered ber ieft hand aimont uselens. She bad to releamn bow t0 draw using ber rigbî band. She also had 10 change mediums. Ms Ciements said oils require 100 mucb room, 50 sbe bas switcbed to watercolours, a medium that is unforgiving. "One stroke in watercoiour, if it's wrong, tbe wboie painting is ruined. You can't take it out. With oil you can acrape it off," she said. Ms Clemenîs no longer goes to far off places to paints, instead relying on ber memory or using pictures. She continues witb il for pleasure and 10 relieve stress. "I would go crazy if I didn't have anything 10 do with my time," she said.
