Cancelled! Thanksgiving Day Paint Out Cedar Creek Conservation Area.

Sorry for any inconvenience.  We are cancelling the event.

Please confirm your attendance to PaintPleinAir@cogeco.ca by 8:30 am Monday October 8th.  We need confirmation or we will have to cancel the event.

Click on the above photo for a larger image.

Date:  Monday October 8th, 10 – 2.  Leaving Windsor at 9 returning at 3.

Location:  Cedar Creek Conservation area.

Approximate address:  1555 County Rd 23, (Extension of the Arner Town Line.)

Arner Town Line  located between Harrow and Kingsville.  If you have crossed the bridge over the creek you’ve gone too far.

Note:  I was debating whether to schedule for Thanksgiving day or move the paint out to Tuesday. My thoughts are since most people celebrate Thanksgiving on the Sunday, that Monday would be acceptable.  I also checked the long-range weather forecast.  If we can predict a week away, Monday will be colder, but less wind. Tuesday will be warmer but windy. Wind = bad Plein air day. My conclusion is we will go for Monday, and hope for the best. However, we may reschedule to Tuesday.  If we reschedule please look to this site, and your email for confirmation.  Remember, we do have car pools, if you don’t want to drive that far.  Message us if you need a ride.  Our email is PaintPleinAir (at) cogeco (dot) ca.

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving with your family.  We hope that Monday will be acceptable.

The Plein Air art movement began in the late 1880′s when artists began to leave their studio’s to paint outdoors. This became possible with the invention of the paint tube which enabled the art studio to become portable. This movement was made famous by Canada’s Group of Seven, the Impressionists in France, and Winslow Homer in the United States.
