  2. Thank you Wendy.
    You are right. The Fredericks Artworks blog is not only fun to produce, but a great learning experience as well.

    Imagine...Paul Kane holds the record for Canada's most expensive auctioned painting!
    What you don't learn.

    And...this song about Benjamin Che Che is plaintive.

    So many great stories to be found in Canadian art.
