  &lt;p&gt;Organised in partnership with the National Gallery on Thursday, &lt;a href="http://www.let-yourself-go.co.uk/"&gt;Blue Sky Day&lt;/a&gt; saw some 200 locals take to the canvas in the shadow of Nelson's Column.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;Each canvas was already coloured blue and included Expedia's distinctive white cloud emblem, before each painter added their own interpretation of the scene before them.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;A further 100 artists took part in&#160;an event at the foot of Edinburgh Castle.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;A selection of the London paintings will now hang in an associated National Gallery &lt;a href="http://www.nationalgallery.org.uk/what/events/blueskyday.htm"&gt;exhibition&lt;/a&gt; between June 28 and July 15, while the Scottish artworks are on display at the Talbot Rice Gallery.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;Expedia got branding pay-off from the event farther afield than just central London. As well as its own Flickr &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/9132448@N05/"&gt;photographs&lt;/a&gt;, many attendees &lt;a href="http://grouper.com/video/MediaDetails.aspx?id=1919989"&gt;posted&lt;/a&gt;&#160;&lt;a href="http://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&amp;amp;ct=res&amp;amp;cd=9&amp;amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.dailymotion.com%2Ftag%2Flondon%2Fvideo%2Fx2ccn5_expedia-blue-sky-day-trafalgar-squa&amp;amp;ei=iXN_Rvn5NYvKwAGqgo2pAQ&amp;amp;usg=AFQjCNGcI1LmlzWBEvdLNFIJX3168kHb2g&amp;amp;sig2=-NRfVxiqRWxPZXXEuzJUTg"&gt;videos&lt;/a&gt; of the occasion, which was devised by the Cake agency.&lt;/p&gt;
