Hi, I would like to say hello to Alain and let him know how proud I am to see a little guy from St-Janvier de chazel being recognized worldwide for his talent and passion for automobiles. I discovered him by a person who was in the organization of one of his exposition in our little township who invited me with my car. Alain’s talent is unique and impressive. Lately I moved from the far north area to the Ottawa area and saw a teal Firebird and thought ” het that look like Alain Levesque’s car” thinking it was a similar car. I found out it was HIS when I went to a local bistro and saw some of his painting on the wall and recognize it rightaway. Reading a newspaper article there I discovered he live in the same area I moved.
For thoee who don’t his art take time and look at it. It’s worth it!
He did two painting specifically for a very good friend of mine who was a car collector who passed away too early at the age of 60 and it has to be very special to make him buy those because he was in NO MEANS a painting art collector and he could understand their value when he saw them.
Congrats Alain !
