Canada has the third most number of Ukrainians (behind Ukraine and Russia). William Kurelek (1927-1977) was born in Canada to Ukrainian immigrants. Four of his paintings of The Ukrainian Pioneer are on these stamps for the 100th anniversary of the first wave of Ukrainian immigration (1991).

The headdresses are real works of art, and they make wonderful stamps. I also love the Ukranian-Canadian paintings, their colours are fab.
Here you can see my Ukranian stamp for today.
Love the mini sheet's calligraphy, and of course all those headdresses. The Kurelek link was fascinating, what a life and artistic journey. I found out that the Bethlem Museum of the Mind in Kent has 4 of his paintings. In passing I also noticed something for cat lovers in that they have 'Animal Therapy: The Cats of Louis Wain' as their present exhibition. Now having been completed diverted where was I, oh yes, here is the link to my Ukrainian stamps here
oh, have you seen the film 'The Electrical Life of Louis Wain'? I rather enjoyed it (there is never too much Benedict Cumberbatch...)
For someone who never wears hats, I have a love of these, and other, headdresses.
My heart is heavy after watching the news.
