#2727 "Lyndhurst Creek October Colours"
16x20 by 0.875 inches oils on canvas

I take the time to paddle to Lyndhurst several times a year. The route is about 5 kilometres one way if you do not include the side adventures into the creeks and bays. It is a quiet paddle and one never quite knows what nature you might see. 

I keep track of the location and story behind
each painting, my artistic journey and
catalogue raisonné.
I prefer to tell my own story.

This stand of red oaks and pines is on the western shore of Lyndhurst Creek just north of the exit into the northern bay of Singleton Lake. Most of the oaks were holding on to their leaves but the maples had already lost theirs. Meteorological winter was right around the corner and soo all of the trees would be skeletons of their former selves. 

The varying water levels were etched in the rocks. There is a difference of several feet between the high water levels of spring melt and the drawdown of autumn. 

The paint and brushwork are very thick and textured on this canvas. I was having fun!

Warmest regards and keep your paddle in the water,
