#2269 "Dumoine Grande Chute Canyon"

This was Day Five 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 DRAW project was conceived to support the Canadian Parks and Wilderness Society's Ottawa Valley Chapter in their campaign to encourage the government of Quebec to preserve and protect the Dumoine's wilderness environment all the way to its headwaters... plus countless other projects that benefit the environment.

DRAW 2017 By Scott Haig is ready and picture-perfect. Master photographer, author and environmentalist Scott Haig (on the edge of the Dumoine Gande Chute above) worked tremendously hard to make this book flawless and he is donating the proceeds to CPAWS. It tells a story of hope for the future through art. Members of the Group of Seven were successful in achieving similar results for Algonquin, Killarney and Algoma - plus many other iconic Canadian vistas if you know their art...

I left the easel where it was after completing #2268 "Don Smith Dumoine Morning Mist". This time I painted looking more down the dark Dumoine channel. My favourite swimming spot is about half way down this channel. The sound of the turbulent cascade filled the air and the canvas. I hope that you can hear it. The sky also had something to say with those gravity waves of altostratus. Rain was on the way. It would rain hard on my drive home the next day.
