Description
This was the sunrise of Day Three of the Canadian Parks and Wilderness Society (CPAWS http://www.cpaws-ov-vo.org/) supported DRAW (Dumoine River Art for Wilderness) 2019. We were all eco-artists trying to assist with the awareness of the importance of wilderness in modern society.
The water was clear but dark and rich with tannins from being fed through leaf litter and peat over a vast forested watershed of 1,776 square kilometres drained by tributaries into the Dumoine. Mark and I played in that current. Its channel was deep. The colours of the water transformed from bright golden rivelts over the cobbles to black in the depths. The strong downcurrent V would take us quickly past the other painters until it fanned out about 200 metres downstream. We would then strike off to one of the sides and ride the back eddies upstream in order to start over again.
A summer warm front was on the western horizon. Altocumulus castellannus (ACC) is essentially towering cumulus clouds based in the middle etage. They are a typical signature for a warm front. Showers were on the way for later in the day but for then, the plein air conditions were perfect.

Such lovely color, shapes and reflections...the water is so exquisitely painted...every stroke has it's purpose and is so deliberate. This is the kind of painting that can be studied and enjoyed again and again. So much here...the colors, of course, and the composition, too. But seeing how you capture the atmosphere and feeling of the place and the time is really something....definitely a new favorite, Mr. Chadwick! l/f

Sunny lights up my day. Just back from Georgian Bay. Plein air forces an artist to be economical with the brush strokes and time - both are precious. Thank you so much Sunny!
