Artist in Residence at the Fairmont Chateau Whistler    March 24-31

Just finished Day 3 of seven straight days of painting  in the lobby of the hotel on behalf of Mountain Galleries. The Fairmont Hotels and Mountain Galleries are reviving a tradition from the last century, when Canadian artists (including the Group of Seven)  would spend a few days painting at the CP hotels in the Rockies to show the surrounding beauty and encourage visitors to come. The Fairmonts in Banff and Jasper started this again last year, and Whistler signed on a few months ago. What an honour for me, and a great learning experience!
