No denying it: there will always be P-A-I-N  in P-A-I-N-T.

In this ARTish Words episode, Canadian artist Janice Tanton and Washington painter Valerie Collymore address the issue of pain and beauty by reflecting on French Impressionist Pierre-Auguste Renoir’s struggle with rheumatoid arthritis and the herculean efforts he made to sustain his art practice during the last twenty years of his life. If your life’s mission is to “die with a paintbrush in your opposite hand,” this episode is for you.
