It's #PainAwarenessMonth & 3 of my #ArtDespitePain paintings were just accepted by the Jury for the international "2026 Spotlight" exhibition of the Federation of Canadian Artists from Oct 1st to 31st! 🎨

I created a new #watercolour painting for #PainAwarenessMonth, as part of my #ArtDespitePain initiative 🎨
