Excursion to Manitoulin Island

I had the opportunity to visit Manitoulin Island in July. The purpose was two fold. It served as a vacation for myself and my family and also gave me the opportunity to meet some of the artists that are either on  The Art Map this year or in the past.

My visit corresponded with the Manitoulin Fine Art Association Art Tour on July 16, 17 & 18 which gave me a good opportunity to meet with Ellen Lewis and Leslie Morin near Mindemoya, Judith Martin in Little Current, Lynne Gerard in Gore Bay and Richard Edwards in Kagawong. Unfortunately I didn't have time to get to meet everyone. It just gives me a reason to go back again.

I've posted more images on The Art Map facebook page.
