I am happy to announce that my portrait of Enrico Colantoni, created for the Star Portraits series, is one of the 6 chosen by the Portrait Gallery of Canada to be part of their permanent collection. Going into the show this is the outcome I most coveted, so I am thrilled. With a new born baby and another pressing deadline, I was only able to work on the portrait for 2 and a half days. It is not a great representation of my work but it was fun to paint and is the result of a very satisfying experience. It's too bad Stevie H. put an ax to the Portrait Gallery of Canada's building (which was already in construction by the way)......
