SAA All -Ontario in Etobicoke on Friday. She then

in Toronto. She was the runner-up in the open 15 years
of age and under class and now has the opportunity to

Returning to Canada, Leeper apprenticed for five
years with Kenneth K. Forbes, the most famous
portrait painter in North America. Forbes, 'who won
the international Proctor prize twice (equivalent to
the Pulitzer and Nobel prizes), painted portraits of
three Canadian Prime • Ministers, the one of John
Diefenbaker being the most fanr to Canadians.
Leeper spent the next few years painting in New
York City and San Francisco. He is a member of the
Portrait Club of New York, the only Canadian artist
who is included.
Leeper explains that there are two types of portrait
painters. The commercial odes can be found at places
like the CNE turning out portraits and sketches of
people by the hundreds. The fine art portrait painters
like himself are fewer in numbers.

take on a painting from real life. Most use
photographs and that's cheating," he says.
When Leeper painted, the portrait of Archbishop
Pocock (which now hangs in St. Michael's Cathedral,
Toronto), he required him to sit through 20 sessions of
about 31 hours each. He required Archbishop
Wilhelm to sit for less time and attributes this to the
fact that "I must be getting better".
He explains that if you manage to get a good
likeness of the head and hands, you can save busy
clients a great deal of time by filling in the rest of the
composition at home. The most important thing is to
capture character and personality from the sittings.
There is a fixed demand for good portrait artists.
Bank directory want portraits for corporate boar-
drooms. In the U.S. military, a portrait is a tradition
above a certain rank., The emphasis is on craft-
smanship and Leeper explains that there is a big
.difference between a portrait of a person and a
photograph of a person.
"A photograph is a split second in time. A painting
grows. There are at least 58 half tones that the
camera misses. Mr. Forbes used to put it this way:
The camera has one eye, no brain and no soul."
Leeper imports his canvas and all his paints from
London, England. His paints are made by Windsor
and Newton Ltd whose business dates back to the
1700s. These paints are reputed to have the most
permanent pigments in the world.
• Recently, -Ivens. Film Productions - of Toronto
completed a film on Leeper- and five other artists.
This film has .been bought by the CBC and will be
aired in the near future. Leeper will be seen in his
newly adopted surroundings'of Goderich.
