#2197 "Chippewa Falls Batchawana Bay"

The tropical water from the remains of Hurricane Alberto was still pouring off the highlands of Algoma. All of the rivers and creeks were swollen. The warm and moist tropical air had also been converted into thick advection fog over the cold waters of Lake Superior.

I was hunting for painting material but the rain was much too heavy to paint en plein air. My efforts in painting #2119 "Chippewa Falls Cascade" were cut short by a heavy shower. I got that painting done but I was too wet to start another. This view is just downstream from that painting where the Chippewa River reaches the level of Lake Superior in a torrent of white water. The goal was to paint the energy in the water, the weather and the trees and to accomplish that with rhythm.
