Philip Craig paints 150 portraits for charity
After four years of work, Ottawa artist Philip Craig is finally ready to sell 150 portraits he painted to raise money for some of his favourite charities.
It took four years for prominent Ottawa artist Philip Craig to paint 150 portraits in his spare time.
The images feature everyone from famous Canadian politicians to Glebe community leaders, to staff at Von's Bistro in the Glebe, to Craig's friends and family.
After all that work, the portraits are now being sold to raise money for some of the Craig family's favourite charities.
All 150 portraits currently adorn the walls of Von's Bistro and will remain there until the end of September. They will later be shown at the City Hall Art Gallery.
