Today has been an absolutely beautiful day and a few of us got together in Otterville at the Mill to create a banner to celebrate Canada’s 150th birthday next year. Today’s banner-making was actually a practice run – we all know it takes practice to make things perfect! Mike Brouse, our president, had some great ideas for the plan of the banner and we did our best to bring his vision to light. Now that we have finished this one, I think we all have a better idea of what the final product should entail.
Some spattering and dripping to start…
The maple leaf takes shape…
Mike shows us the kind of figures he’s envisioned…
We begin to add them in…
At one point we were joined by a furry friend looking for food at the picnic area!
The requisite selfie….
And at the end of the day…

Looks like you had fun – so does this mean there is going to be another banner painting party?
Sounds like it!
It was a great day! Mike had a vision, brought some art supplies and we enjoyed each other’s artsy ideas and methods. The weather was also ideal and I think the next one will be even better.
Congrats. And you could have had a coon skin hat with a tail. Danny boy style. Mike de Belleval
