Art by John McDonald
"Project: CARLA"
On April 3, 2016, John lost his friend of more than 20 years, Carla Ann Nelson, to substance abuse at the tragic young age of 35. With the blessing of her family, John was gifted a small portion of Carla's cremated remains to create this painting. The ashes were mixed into every single brushstroke of paint, creating a colourful memorial to her memory. This painting was exhibited at the 2018 Prince Albert Winter Festival Juried Arts Show at the Mann Art Gallery, Prince Albert, SK.
