Plein Air Festival Whitehorse: Images & Thoughts


 The festival involved 12 artists each day and there were three artists at each location for 5 days. Each day we moved to one of these four sites and painted for 5 hours.
 The Taylor House
 The Visitor Information Park
 Yukon Arts Centre
S.S. Klondike   All sites are in the City of Whitehorse
The show for all pieces produced during the week are at Yukon Artists @ Work and will be up until the end of July.  

I enjoyed the experience and painted subject matter that I would not normally paint.  The weather was pretty cold and windy on some days but otherwise it was a great week.
