Add Your Brush Stroke Community Mural

Thank you to all the painters from Huntsville and around the world that joined us in painting the 2nd Add Your Brush Stroke Community Mural in downtown Huntsville. With a week to get the mural painted Gerry Lantaigne took on the role of mural artist and art director. Lantaigne guided all interested people in helping to recreate Arthur Lismer’s Isles of Spruce. Over 1200 people joined Lantaigne to paint the Isles of Spruce recreation, which is now the newest mural in Group of Seven Outdoor Gallery. This mural is mounted on the wall of its sponsor, TD Canada Trust, at 38 Main St. E. in downtown Huntsville.

Lantaigne chats with two of the early painters	Everyone gets a chance to paint	Painting is a family affair
Huntsville’s Mayor Claude Doughty does his part	More painters, more colour	Future artists in the making
Helpful hands	Lantaigne paints rain or shine	At the end of day one there is a lot left to do
Lantaigne takes a quiet moment to work on the top of the mural	Steady hands	Our Gallery volunteer photographer, Carol Gibson, takes a break to paint
All those strokes do turn into something	Just how many painters can you have at once	Lantaigne explains where to add the next brush stroke
Lantaigne takes a break to show off the progress	Community members wait for their chance to paint	Thomson looks on, while doing his own painting
Local artists help with some of the finishing touches	Getting ready to relocate the mural	Moving one panel at a time
