#2144 "Downstream from the Grande Chute Ledges"

The Dumoine fog and mist from the morning had burnt off. The unstable air mass was promising more thunderstorms for later in the day. Persistence can be a good forecast technique. Thunderstorms occurred the previous few nights and were likely to happen again as the same large and moist air mass persisted over the region.

I headed downstream to find the Ledges further south on the Grande Chute of the Dumoine. Becky Mason had told me she was going to paint there and the buddy system of the DRAW Camp required someone nearby. Somehow I didn't see Becky and instead went to the sandy pool just downstream from the rocky pool known as the Ledges. Not wanting to squander any painting time I set up with a small rough panel to try to capture the energy in the water fall. It was hot so I also went swimming.
This small rough panel almost looks like an abstraction but it was inspired and nurtured by real nature.
 For this an much more art...
