There’s something magical in this ad inviting Americans to visit Québec’s Eastern Townships. It feels like us — open arms, quiet beauty. In Québec, we welcome not with grandeur, but with warmth. Maybe, now more than ever, our neighbours need love. easterntownships.org #US 🇺🇸 #Canada 🇨🇦 #Québec 💙🤍⚜️

It's been a tough 4 years for my wife Chelle. Long COVID and a bout with viral meningitis have reduced her mobility, leaving her virtually homebound. It's hard for her to keep her spirits up. But 6 months ago, she joined an online tutorial to learn color pencil drawing and... I'm blown away!

'I see you' 7x8 inches, gouache on cotton paper. This is my last winter painting. I can't take anymore snow!! Also, painting animals is really challenging. 😳 #gouache #fox #winterlandscape #forest #painting #landscapepainting #traditionalart #gouache #canadianart #artbsky
