Timed for 5 minutes, artists were directed verbally for continuous painting. Canvases were numbered and colors assigned (pictured below) so 300 of the finished pieces would reflect the local landscape of Tabletop Mountain, this has been installed on the outside South facing wall of the Curling rink at the local District of Chetwynd Rec Centre.
