I created a painting onsite at McMichael Canadian Art Collection as part of the McMichael En Plein Air Painting Competition. 42 artists were selected from across Ontario to set their easels on the McMichael’s grounds and capture the magnificent landscape.
My painting Strong Roots (Kleinburg) received the First Choice Award from the jury! It will be on exhibit alongside the other award winners from November 17, 2018 to January 6, 2019 at the McMichael’s Creative Learning Gallery.
