This canvas had been sitting unfinished for a long time, waiting quietly. When I returned to it, something unexpected happened—these women began to appear. One by one, as if they had always been there, simply waiting for me to see them. I called it “My Friends” because that’s exactly what they became.\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI’ve always loved creating imaginary people—giving them life, presence, and personality. Each woman in this painting carries her own energy, her own story, her own quiet strength. They don’t belong to anyone, yet they feel familiar… like the kind of friends we all need. As we grow older, friendship takes on a deeper meaning. It’s not about quantity, but about connection, presence, and understanding. This painting is my way of surrounding myself with that feeling—of never being alone, of being held by a circle of strong, vibrant souls.\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMaybe they are friends. Maybe they are memories. Maybe they are parts of you.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color:#9e2a2b;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArtwork details\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e    \u003cstrong\u003eDimensions (w x h):\u003c\/strong\u003e 58'' x 36'' (147cm. x 91cm.)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMedium:\u003c\/strong\u003e Premium oil paint, and oil pastel, finished with a coat of professional varnish for protection and longevity.\u003cbr\u003e\n  \u003cstrong\u003eOther detail: \u003c\/strong\u003eThe artwork is painted on a heavy weight canvas.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cspan style=\"color:#9e2a2b;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShipping\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e    \u003cstrong\u003eComplimentary Shipping: \u003c\/strong\u003e \nShipping is included for all orders delivered within Canada, the United States, and Europe.\n\n\n\n\nFor destinations outside Canada, the USA, or Europe, please contact me for a custom shipping quote.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eArtwork preparation:\u003c\/strong\u003e This artwork will be mounted on a 1.5\" gallery depth frame, with the painted canvas elegantly wrapped around the sides for a seamless, museum quality finish.
