Last summer, I saw this man in Huntsville, Ontario painting a huge replica of a Tom Thomson painting. He was stopping people as they went by to get them to put a dab of paint on the canvas. He said he was trying to get 1000 people to contribute and sign their name to a list. I took a minute to add a few brush strokes to the canvas, and then took his picture while he painted. I was happy with how the composition is dominated by the large painting and how he was framed by the reference taped to the cardboard.
