Extremely Busy Extreme Painting this Winter!

Some of you know that I run the group Windsor & Essex County Plein Air Artists.  Well, quite often I get so busy there I don’t get to keep up my own blog and website.  SO, here’s a catch up!

It’s been an incredible winter!  Even with the extreme cold, our group is painting in -18 C weather!  YES!!  Some of the places we’ve visited this winter are:

  • Canadian Transportation Museum and Heritage Village
  • Essex County Steam & Gas Engine Museum Inc
  • John R Park Homestead
  • Ducharme Maple Syrup Farm, Oxley
  • Ojibway Park

We’ve received some great press coverage. (Click on photo to go to articles.)  The Windsor Star has a video clip of an interview with me.
