Description
The Annual International Plein Air Painters Worldwide Paint Out is held the second weekend of September to honour those lost on 911. It was designed to be something positive in the wake of 911 and was started on October 19th, 2001. The 2022 IPAP Great Worldwide Paint Out is the 20th Anniversary of that first event back in 2002. I have not missed a year of participating since then.
Tanya Hammond, Freelance Writer & Agricultural Advocate wanted to watch me complete the next painting and I happily obliged. I set up in the midday shade of a large maple looking up the slope toward the bywash. Tanya took some fine pictures which is something I seldom get to see when painting alone. Tanya wrote a very complementary article. I even made the front page of the "Review Mirror" thanks to Tanya!
The bywash channel allows some of the flows that could enter the lock to be diverted and discharged into the river downstream, maintaining flow in the river and keeping Indian Lake at the appropriate level for operation of the lock. The flow may also be called the "washburn" or "weirstream" which combine the Scottish word "burn" meaning stream and "wash" for the old word "bywash" meaning water flowing from a waste weir.
Even though it was a Friday and not a weekend, Chaffey's Locks was buzzing with visitors and boats. The weather was spectacular.
