GOAL
Our goal in 2022-2023 was to tent, explore and paint, en plein air, in those eastern Canadian landscapes that inspired Canadian painters Tom Thomson and "The Group of Seven" (and other contemporary artists since) -- from Nova Scotia to Lake Superior, and back.
In doing so, we hoped to seek our own interpretation of Canada's landscapes (urban and rural) and to develop our own painting styles. We also hoped to meet like-minded artists along the way, both virtually from around the world and in-person during our adventures.
EXHIBITION
At the end of our journey we exhibited about 40+ original paintings, journals, sketches and travel logs at the Teichert Gallery , adjacent to the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia, throughout September 2023.

Our first footstep took place in 2022 at Herring Cove, Nova Scotia, where AY Jackson once painted about one hundred years earlier.
