Biking/Painting Holiday - Nakusp to Ainsworth

The bike riders were on the road at 8:30a.m. I left as well to find a painting spot and pulled over on the Vernon-Slocan Highway viewpoint to paint. As I was finding it hard to store wet oil paintings on 16"x20" canvas panels, this time I painted an 8"x10" so I could put it away in my panel carrier. It was interesting as I had a couple of cars pull over and one man stopped to check out what I was doing and chat while his 2 dogs were eager to get out as well.

I quickly packed up and headed to our lunch meetup in the park at New Denver. I started a painting there, then the group pedaled in for a take out lunch. I continued my painting when they left to bike to Kaslo. It was so peaceful and quiet with very few people walking about.
