#2489 "Long Reach White Pine Windy Day"


I grabbed another panel after completing #2488 "Singleton Ice Edge Cattails" but wanted to get out of the developing northerly winds. The wind occasionally threaded through Jim Day rapids and created a river of ripples. The lines of ripples appeared brighter since they reflected the clouds above. Otherwise the calm waters of the Jim Day exit into Long Reach was dark due to the reflected shadows of the white pines on the far shore. 

The wind was whipping the tops of the white pines around. The rain touched the south shore of Lake Ontario but only the overcast altostratus made it as far north as Singleton. 

The geese rode the current of Jim Day Rapids and paddled in front of me repeatedly as I painted.
