René Perny
I was born in 1945, the famous baby boom: I was in it!
I live in Franche-Comté, a beautiful region in eastern France, very green and welcoming. My city is Besançon, an old Spanish city as Victor Hugo said; he knew what he was talking about since he was born there in 1802 “This century was 2 years old...”
Since this year (2008) Vauban's fortifications which “dress” Besançon, with the eleven French sites created by him, have been classified as UNESCO world heritage sites!
My professional career had nothing to do with artistic professions! Just think: I ended up as a management agent in a Social Security organization, that of farmers.
But I have always been attracted to drawing and painting since my childhood. However, I really started painting in 2001, taking advantage of a long immobilization of almost 5 months following a surgical operation.
Retired since the end of 2005 (the “grandpa boom!”), I continued more assiduously by educating myself in books and specialized journals.
I tried all the techniques: acrylic, watercolor, oil, charcoal in particular. But, after many attempts, it is oil painting that primarily interests me and which I practice almost exclusively now.
This year I discovered a very “colorful” style of painting practiced by some Mediterranean painters. I adopted, in all modesty and without pretension, the style of Christian Eurgal who chose to express the light and colors of Provence by essentially using the three primary colors in very close shades and by simplifying the landscapes.
I am therefore a true amateur painter without pretension.
However, I don't just paint, far from it.
I have other “hobbies”: fishing, DIY, photography and video, the computer and..... cinema and sport in front of the TV!!!!!!
I also present my paintings on other sites:

Qui je suis ?
Je suis né en 1945, le fameux baby boom : j'étais dedans !
J'habite en Franche-Comté, une belle région de l'Est de la France, très verdoyante et accueillante. Ma ville c'est Besançon, vieille ville espagnole disait Victor Hugo ; il savait de quoi il parlait puisqu'il y est né en 1802 « Ce siècle avait 2 ans... ».
Depuis cette année (2008) les fortifications de Vauban qui « habillent » Besançon, avec les onze sites français créés par lui, sont classées au patrimoine mondial de l'UNESCO !
Ma carrière professionnelle n'a rien eu à voir avec les métiers artistiques ! Pensez donc : j'ai fini agent de direction dans un organisme de Sécurité Sociale , celui des agriculteurs.
Mais j'ai toujours été attiré par le dessin et la peinture dès mon enfance. Pourtant j'ai vraiment commencé la peinture en 2001, mettant à profit une longue immobilisation de près de 5 mois suite à une opération chirurgicale.
Retraité depuis fin 2005 (le « papy boom ! »), j'ai continué plus assidument en me formant dans les livres et les revues spécialisées.
J'ai essayé toutes les techniques : acrylique, aquarelle, huile, fusain en particulier. Mais, après bien des essais, c'est la peinture à l'huile qui m'intéresse en priorité et que je pratique presque exclusivement maintenant.
Cette année j'ai découvert un style de peinture très « coloré » pratiqué par quelques peintres méditerranéens. J'ai adopté, en toute modestie et sans prétention, le style de Christian Eurgal qui a choisi d'exprimer la lumière et les couleurs de la Provence en utilisant pour l'essentiel les trois couleurs primaires en les déclinant sur des nuances tres proches et en simplifiant les paysages.
Je suis donc un vrai peintre amateur sans prétention.
Cependant, je ne fais pas que peindre, tant s'en faut.
J'ai d'autres « hobbies » : la pêche, le bricolage, la photo et la vidéo, l'ordinateur et..... le cinéma et le sport devant la TV !!!!!!
Je présente aussi mes toiles sur d'autres sites :

"Mets de l'huile !"
Je suis un fervent adepte de la peinture à l'huile, après avoir essayé toutes les autres techniques.
En 2008, j'ai découvert le travail de Christian EURGAL, peintre méditerranéen. Il m'a littéralement "emballé" et j'ai adopté sa méthode : utilisation quasi exclusive du couteau avec des couches épaisses de matière, et surtout une palette de couleurs vives reposant sur les trois couleurs primaires (rouge, jaune, bleu) et des tons légèrement dégradés.
