I am venturing into exciting new territory.

New “Mono Cliff Trail” 8×10 Original Oil

On Sept 26th nearly 400 runners will converge in a valley draped in autumn beauty to embark on a spectacular trail run.
Chase the Coyote takes place in Mono Cliffs Provincial Park, part of the Niagara Escarpment.
It’s natural wonders of rocky cliffs, forested trails traverse by natural ponds returning up steep inclines.
Meadows of wild grasses & sumac dot the scape below.

Running Free Orangeville and their participating sponsors
host an amazing fun, challenging event on this incredible diverse trail system.

Autumn Trail 4ft x3ft Original Oil $ 3200.oo

Camaraderie among runners of all ages created a festive atmosphere as
I mingled about at the start line last September.

This stunning course invites the runner to experience each aspect of the varying terrain among the soft drumbeat of footfalls on dirt trail.
The vivid scenery, great support of volunteers and host, add to the elements making this the most spectacular trail race I have run.

It’s worth the time to view the entire course video.

Absorbing the beauty of the season running this diverse landscape was amazing.
Reuniting with friends made it extra special.
As we celebrated in the autumn glow of the afternoon, I thought about the similarities of my work and events like these.
• We encourage people to connect with nature
• To engage in our natural surroundings in a healthy manner
• Support our parks.
• Discover & celebrate community.

It’s a few of the reasons I am inspired to venture into new territory sponsoring Chase the Coyote.

If you have been following my career path, you know I donate
a portion of my sales to conservancy programs such as Nature Conservancy International, Nature Canada, etc.
I continue to support charities & community fundraisers specifying health care services and community parks.
Thou sponsoring a race is new, it’s a good fit for the work, and an honour to be connected to such a vibrant community actively engaging in our wonderful parks.
