His name is Balu, born in Kerela, India and left abandoned at birth. Balu never experienced the love, the warmth and the touch of having a mother or father. He was dropped off at birth in front of an orphanage; which to this day; he is fortunate in being raised, loved and educated. I finally painted him this year 2019 as I remembered him on the last day of our missions trip, from a photo I captured of him; expressing so much through his eyes; the face of so many lonely and abandoned children around the world simply wanting to be loved.

Shawn Robichaud, AFCA
St. Charles, Ontario
Northern Ontario realist painter Shawn Robichaud, AFCA, works primarily in oils, drawing inspiration from the Canadian landscape, rural heritage and natural light. His paintings combine detailed realism with atmosphere and mood, exploring the quiet presence of place and the memories and emotions landscapes can carry.
"“I’m not interested in simply painting what a place looks like. I want to capture what it feels like—the light, the atmosphere, the stillness, and sometimes the memory held within it. If a painting makes someone pause and feel something, then I’ve accomplished what I set out to do.”"
