From mentor:
Esperance brought to the easel a very unique, personal, approach to painting. His untrained style was free of a need to be like another artist; his natural talents were enough to nurture him further. He was eager to get better. My goal was to give him some direction on some basics using the elements and principles of composition without losing his unique style. He is incredibly curious to know more; he soaks up suggestions like a linen canvas without sizing! He listens exceptionally well. Whatever observation I gave him was intently demonstrated successfully on the first effort. This is huge for a mentor! Esperance has a very personal and unique style of painting, a true gift. The use of vibrant color, the desire for detail, his love of nature, and his honesty about being himself combine to help him succeed. I admire his devotion to nurturing his gift
