Earlier this year, I painted 33 scenes of Prince Edward County along its portion of Highway 33 (AKA Loyalist Parkway) for 33 days. Many of these 20" x 20" oil paintings have sold, but a few still remain and twelve of them can be seen at the Devil's Wishbone Winery during this year's Wassail.

...and here's what it means in Prince Edward County:
"Wassail is an annual event held in Prince Edward County which celebrates another harvest and the laying of vines to rest. The event takes place over 3 weekends in November & December and each participating winery hosts a variety winter festivities including things like mulled wines, tasty treats and caroling! A singing cavalcade also sweeps across the County each weekend... be sure not to miss 2013."
