Festival de Peinture à Mascouche 2015

This year being one of the administrators I only showed several works at the festival de peinture a Mascouche. Lots of work running around making sure everything is going smooth. I was in charge of the life drawing session on Saturday afternoon.

wonderful weather we had on the long weekend. Lots of sunshine but a little bit of the hot side.
