Peter\, artist and scientist\, is the perfect mentor for outdoor painting; he understands so much about the land\, animals\, water and atmosphere and he shares all that he knows and loves with enthusiasm and spirit. We painted in the town\, at Bowron Lake\, summits on the road\, rivers and marshes\, and clouds in the sky. We honed our field studies in the studio. We worked hard and long and it seemed like play.” ~Louise Drescher\, Rossland\, BC \nParticipants will be given the option of staying in the new IMA residency multi-occupancy building “the Nest” or at any other accommodation provider in Wells.
