Art from the Field:

From Rob Mullen:

These expeditions are meant to inspire, and, as an artist myself, I in no way dictate how that inspiration comes about or is used; no one has to do field paintings. If an artist simply wants to let the experience wash over them and paint about it later, then that is fine. However, the first expedition on the Missinaibi River in 2001 was envisioned as a total immersion painting trip and field painting and sketching have been key parts of most of the expeditions since (on a few trips conditions have not encouraged a lot of art in the great outdoors). All of the artists on expeditions so far have done field work during the expedition. I am posting as much as I have access to here and will add to it as new expeditions are run (or artists find paintings in odd corners; I've lost a few).
