About 25 women had a hand in creating this striking work of art when they were led by local artist Katherine Jeans. The women each painted their own masterpiece to take home but also contributed to two large communal canvasses with the theme of Peace and Cooperation.
The two pieces had been on display at the Jewish Community Centre for several months. A couple of weeks ago I got a call asking if we would accept one of the canvasses as a donation. I didn't hesitate.
Living in a shelter is challenging. Everyone benefits from nice, comforting, uplifting surroundings. And this painting is definitely uplifting.
This morning several of the women and Katherine dropped by to visit the lounge and hand over the painting. Thanks to Katherine's ability to hammer a nail into the wall with her shoe, we even managed to get the painting onto the wall.
