1st Annual Bragg Creek Plein Air Festival 

Mc Lean Pond, Kananaskis

It’s always so good to meet back up with artists one hasn’t seen in a long time, and also meet new artists too.  I love Plein Air Painting!   Thank You Art Country Canada for hosting such an wonderful event in the Canadian Rockies!


#HermannBrant.  Wonderful to work with him again! Amazing artist, painting buddy, and knowledgeable art instructor.  All the way from South Africa!  


#MarlaBlackwell,  I enjoyed two days painting, right along side my very first painting instructor!  Such an honour!   Thank you Marla for sharing so much about painting when I was just getting started in this painters journey!  So glad our painting paths have met up again!!


#RandyNeufeld keeping his eye on the prize, and staying nice and dry under that roomy unberlla. 


I was so amazed to paint with one of Canada’s signature landscape painters, Brent Heighton.  He  painted a substantial sized panel, effortlessly, as Marla watches it all happening!  


#CherylPeddie is in her element here.  Amazing painting!


#Eric Jansen has came all the way from Holland to paint in this Festival!  So cool to meet an international artist, and talk about art museums and art, that I must go see!  As one paints their way through Europe at the same time, as Eric has done much of!


Oh look I’m a cup too,  they will never see me.


Taking it all in, painting it all out!

Super Plein Air Festival!  Already making plans to attend next years!
