In celebration of Canada Day, Vancouver artist William Meire's art exhibit Face of Canada opened today at Canada Place. The exhibit includes more than 100 oil portraits of notable Canadians including Geddy Lee. From an article in The Province covering the event:
... Meire says it’s been hard narrowing down his list of notable Canadians. And he’s not done yet, as he continues to paint. But if he had to choose just one, who would be his favourite Canuck celebrity?
“I love Rush, I’m a Rush fan. I love Geddy Lee, as far as entertainers, he’s very inspiring to me. And Neil Young, of course, they’d be right up there as far as entertainers. They’re so inspiring, I listen to them both constantly as I paint,” he says.
