Paul Wells on the Canadian face

Sean Downey, Near the Elevator, Kingston Prize 2023

The quest for a national portrait gallery for Canada is too long and convoluted to think about, but Paul Wells, ex-Maclean's political columnist, now Substacker  (and despite my doubts about anyone in Canada making a living from writing on the internet, I hope he prospers) has a lively column about something unknown to me:  the Kingston Prize for portrait painting. Worth a look.
