May, Paint day under a bright and blue clear sky, soaking in vitamin D. Gratitude to every contributor — including the government MLA who helped kick off this 2019 painting, The Legislature Has No Dome, Unity, a name shaped in part by an Alberta Sheriff.
Flip the canvas, and you meet its counterpart: The Grande Stage Democracy. Along the baseline and beside the cross, new flowers bloom — painted by dozens of hands, from kids to elders. They mark renewal, just like the rose bushes rising today from the top of the Legislature, reclaiming the space where the dome once stood.
Back in 2022, HBO’s The Last of Us turned the Legislature into a film set and blew the dome apart for season one. I sketched the scene, handed a few drawings to the crew, and later spoke with CBC about the work.
