‘Expanding Boundaries’, a project by Shelley Leach and Anne-Marie Langan. Our mission is to encapsulate the awe-inspiring beauty of Canada’s national parks through the art of plein air painting, our photos and journals and the connections we make along the way we'll be painting on location.
This project, set to span multiple years, will see us navigating through the diverse landscapes of Canada, from the rugged mountains to the sometimes tranquil coastlines , how do you really describe Canada? I think as we go that is part of what we will be covering. There are 38 plus National Parks in Canada and 10 National Reserves.
Our goal is to vividly portray each park on our canvases and in our sketchbooks.
However, our adventure extends beyond the canvas and the national parks. We’ll be making numerous stops along the way, immortalizing the varied Canadian scenery in our artwork. We'll be blogging and posting as well as painting of course, we will share our view virtually, if you'd like to participate and paint along with us. This journey is no small undertaking we will see and create something from every province and territory in Canada, we invite you to be part of this journey.
We're planning our itineraries for 2024 now.
We plan to do some of Ontario this spring & summer we're going to be painting at Thousand Islands National Park the first National Park on our list. I've worked on several self directed art projects over the years and discovered expect the unexpected and where you start is never where you finish.
This project is a personal quest, we decided to look towards the end of APRIL to officially launch this new project on location. As soon as we set the date for Thousand Islands National Park I will put out notice and we will be trying to make live posts, during out painting session.
we have confirmed we'll be in Nova Scotia. at Cape Breton Highlands National Park from Sept 4 - 12, 2024 this will serve as our home base as we paint the area.
