Dolores Turmel-Rodrigue painted landscapes and traditional scenes, often, like other Quebec artists, using the prints of Edmond Massicotte for inspiration and guides. She would paint the stories that her father told the children. Her paintings were full of colour and always told a story. She always painted on canvas with oils and she signed them ‘Dolores’ and dated them.
