#2250 "Dumoine Grande Chute Misty Morning"

This was still the first morning of the Canadian Parks and Wilderness Society (CPAWS) 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 mist was still lingering in the Dumoine Valley. I decided to head up on to the Grand Chute bridge to paint. The bridge had been resurfaced with enough thick planks and there was not a big risk of getting one of the big spikes through a tire. There was not much traffic yet although it would certainly increase soon enough in time for the coming long weekend. I have completed several paintings from just about this location but every day is different. It was going to be a blue bird day after the fog and mist were gone. The biting bugs were not a problem thanks largely to my Dragonfly Wingman.

A solemn cathedral of tall forest framed the canyon of the Dumoine reminding me of the nave of a church. Everyday can be a religious experience in the beauty of the wilderness.
