Paintout #7, Aug. 11-12, 2012, "A Brush with the Highlands". This is done at Canada's largest plein air paint out, centred around a tiny town of Wilberforce , about two hours northeast of Toronto. Tracy, the organizer, hosted a sit-down meal for all entrants (about 45) and their families - complete with door prizes - thank you Curry's and Guerilla Box.

The mornings here are luminous and you become a feast for mosquitoes!
