Description
The weather was perfect for the frst day of the Annual International Plein Air Painters Worldwide Paint Out 2022. I was painting before 9 am as I had hoped. The sun was just starting to clear the trees of the Opinicon. The small building adjacent to the parking area for Chaffey's Locks was painted in the colours of the Opinicon. It is used as the pumphouse to supply Indian Lake water to the trees and flower beds of the Opinicon. The sun strafed the roof and siding of the buildings with shafts of sunlight.
Marshall the Cat came to visit me while I painted. I also mvisited with some travelors from distant places who had come to view the natural beauty of the Rideau. I met Alec who was paddling from Kingston to Ottawa on a blow-up paddle board. I never would have thought that such a venture was possible or practical. His first two days on the Rideau were marked by a strong and chilly head wind.
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.

Thank you Sunny. The Pumphouse was painted in the colours of The Opinicon so even though there is no signage, it is clear who looks after the structure. It was a pleasant morning of painting!
