Nadien Cole has had the honour of having one of her paintings chosen as part of the 100th Anniversary celebration of the Canadian Society of Painters in Water Colour (CSPWC).
Out of 86 finalists across Canada, the Society has selected 25 paintings to be sent to Windsor Castle to join The Royal Collection of King Charles III, who has been a long time member and patron of the CSPWC, as he also paints in watercolour.
Nadien's painting is one of the 25 to have been chosen.
It will be included in the 100th Anniversary celebrations hosted by the Roberts Gallery in Toronto, and then shipped to Windsor Castle in 2026.
And then it turns out that David Cadman has also had the honour of having one of his paintings chosen for The Royal Collection.
Well done you two, and congratulations to you both!

Congratulations to the two of you as well!
