PAINT FACT: Edvard Munch has painted five versions of ‘The Scream” (1893) throughout the years. The first two, from 1893 are located in the National Gallery in Oslo and the Munch Museum. The third version was made with pastels in 1895 and a black-and -white lithograph version was released in the same year. The final version was painted following the success of the other paintings. BP PAINTERS. Phone 902-774-0826.

PAINT FACT: Painting builds problem solving skills. The problem solving someone undertakes whilst creating a painting develops critical thinking. The fact that a painting never has a straightforward plan, and a person has to change and react to the way things are going practices these skills. BP PAINTERS. Phone 902-774-0826.

PAINT FACT: Painting relives stress. There’s no denying that getting involved in painting almost put the mind into a mediative state, naturally calming you. But research has actually shown through MRI scans increased connectivity which demonstrates ‘psychological resilience’. This indicates a person can handle difficult situations better and maintain a more positive state. BP PAINTERS. Phone 902-774-0826.

PAINT FACT; Vincent van Gogh’s ‘The Starry Night’ (1889) was painted by the artist in his asylum room at Saint-Remy-de-Provence. Even though it is considered one of his most famous pieces, and one of the most expensive pieces of art in the world,Van Gogh himself considered it a failure as it was never sold. Therefore, it is ironic that Van Gogh shot himself in the chest at the age of 37 because of this. BP PAINTERS. Phone 902-774-0826.

THANK YOU: Tiffany, Theo and Faye Turnbull would like to “thank you” for all of the support given for the benefit. Special thanks to Sandra and Peter Turnbull, Mike Bartlett, Al Dupuis and the rest of the volunteers.

Thank you for all of the cards and phone call to let them know that they are in your thoughts and prayers. Special thank you to the pall bearers and the family friend who was able to dig the grave for the burial. Husband Steve, sons and family.
