I needed to start painting early if I was to stand on the causeway. All of the traffic coming into the Dumoine watershed had to use this crossing. At one time there was a covered bridge here. 

The story goes that a local trucker had bought a brand new 600-horsepower truck that he would use to haul logs. As the driver approached the bridge, he had second thoughts that the wood-framed structure could take the load. He drove on. About halfway across the bridge, there was a tremendous crash. The trucker thought that the best option was to proceed quickly across the bridge rather than risk crashing into the water. He made it safely across the bridge but the truck was wearing the roof of the old bridge like a hat. The present-day causeway replaced the historic covered bridge crossing. Not as elegant as the old covered bridge, but better suited to the larger and heavier logging loads on the road.

The lakes along the Dumoine road are "wide spots" in the Pinceau River which empties into the Ottawa River below the Zec concrete bridge. The lakes were local oases of nature and I recorded several of them in oils. 

An adult bald eagle flew low overhead as I painted. I was able to finish the painting of overcast skies and Dumoine forest and lakes just before the truck traffic arrived. It was a holiday Monday so there was going to be lots of traffic on the main road. I was planning on avoiding all of that if I could. Some new friends showed me some great new, secluded painting places. There were years of painting ahead of me.

The overcast altostratus revealed that a very significant storm was on the way. The wind was shaking pine needles onto my palette and into the oils too. Torrential rain would arrive during the afternoon.

There is no better cause. The goals are admirable and ones that I deeply share. The goal is ultimately to make a lasting difference like A.Y. Jackson and the Ontario Society of Artists did in the case of Killarney Provincial Park. The impacts of climate change are already being felt. There is no time for dithering. 

This is number nineteen of twenty-eight paintings I completed en plein air at CPAWS DRAW 2023. It was a wonderful experience with a terrific group of people. https://cpaws-ov-vo.org/draw-retreat-artists/ A portion of sales from this endeavour will go to support CPWAS and keep the wild in the wilderness.

#2810 "Lac Pinceau Island"

#2810 "Lac Pinceau Island"
8 (height) x10 (width) by 3/8 (inches in depth)

I had to get out of the August sun and the boat ramp for Lac Pinceau provided the perfect opportunity for that. The swimming was also fine in that lake. The vistas were limited if I wanted to stay in the shade. I decided to focus on the lone island at the south end of the lake. Kenny's Cottage was to the right and out of site. Danny's Place was to the left. The beauty of Lac Pinceau surrounded by nature is special and it enjoys a long history. 

The wind in the bluebird sky was actually brisk easterlies and I witnessed a few shards of turbulent stratocumulus whizz by. Of course, I included them in the painting. Very significant weather was on the way so do not get fooled by the blue skies. There was a lot of wind and humidity in the atmosphere and both could fuel severe storms.

#2809 "Midday Dumoine River from Lac Pinceau"

#2809 "Midday Dumoine River from Lac Pinceau"
11(height) X 14 (width) and 7/8 profile. 

The sun was definitely hot at 10 am and it was going to get hotter. I decided not to waste any of the cooler time driving so set up my easel on the northwest side of Dumoine Road to record the change in lighting that three hours can have on a landscape. 

It was a bluebird day. I focussed on the forest and how the white pines stretched up into the sky. The sound of the waterfall was soothing background music when there was not a Rhino careening by. 

Upon completion, I momentarily set the finished painting on the ground to let the sun tack it up. I was preparing to start work on the next painting at the boat ramp into Lac Pinceau. I heard a shuffling sound and saw a little toad crawl and jump across the wet canvas. I gently shooed the toad onto the grass. The toad left some marks in the in the sky that weren’t appropriate. I fixed them up on the spot before the oils really did set. Some of the other marks almost fit in so I left them alone. Sometimes the best brush strokes can be the accidents that occur.

#2808 "Dumoine Road Headed to Bonanza"

#2808 "Dumoine Road Headed to Bonanza"
5x7 oils on canvas panel

The August sun was starting to get hot even at 8 am. I decided to stand in the shade of the forest and paint the Dumoine Road looking back toward Bonanza and the CPAWS Camp. The view was actually looking west-southwest as the Dumoine Road does an abrupt turn to the east. A road can't be very straight in the rugged terrain of the Dumoine watershed. The front-lit colours were stronger with the rising sun on my back. 

The tree shadows stretching across the sandy road played tic tac toe with the shadows of the ruts from the truck traffic. The sun was still fairly low in the sky and the shadows all were long.

#2807 "Dumoine Road to Grande Chute"

#2807 "Dumoine Road to Grande Chute"
7x5 inches oils on canvas panel

This is the Dumoine Road near Kilometre Eight headed toward the Grand Chute. Surprisingly, for a road destined to head toward the northwest, it made an abrupt turn to the east. The location of the rising sun was the immediate clue as to the direction of the compass. I decided to quickly paint the backlit forest and the sharp turn of the dusty road before the sun fully cleared the trees. I also wished to get off the road before the traffic increased too much - even though a Sunday morning should be fairly quiet. I stood on top of the moose tracks from the night before while I painted.

#2806 "Foggy Morning at a Dumoine Waterfall"

This pond on the northwest side of Dumoine Road is near Kilometre Eight. The road is signed at 1-kilometre intervals along its length. The CPAWS DRAW Camp of 2023 was at Kilometre Four and the location of Bonanza. 

I started to paint around 7:15 am and stayed in the same spot looking into the fog and the forest. The August sun was quickly burning off the fog so the landscape changed by the minute. It is important to lock in your subject matter from the start and not to attempt to chase the light. 

A curious mink came bounding along the shore as I painted. A moose had left its tracks in the sandy shoulder of the road sometime overnight. 

The lakes along the Dumoine road are "wide spots" in the Pinceau River which empties into the Ottawa River below the ZEC (Zone d'Expressions Coopératives - Area Co-Expression).

#2805 "Grande Chute Swimming Honey Hole"

#2805 "Grande Chute Swimming Honey Hole"
5x7 inches canvas panel using oils

My favourite swimming hole at Grande Chute was in the dark pool just upstream from the little rapids included at the bottom third of this painting. 

That pool can only be accessed by climbing down a ravine from the western shore of the Chute. Once there, several large boulders provide almost comfortable private resting places. The swimming is great provided you do not venture out into the strong current. It is best to tie a rope to a tree. I swam there several times. 

Wally Schaber and co-workers Peter and Maggie gave an excellent tour of the new and improved Dumoine facilities and trail. The many developments completed during the COVID years were remarkable. The history of the area is fascinating and Wally wrote "The Last of the Wild Rivers: The Past, Present, and Future of the Rivière du Moine Watershed". Wally's book is a must-read and hopefully, your library can get you a copy.

After the tour wound up, the CPAWS DRAW people scattered to the wind. I headed straight down the new and improved trail with my painting gear. I would have to return to the car for my swimming stuff later. 

I set up my easel at the new campsite called "Bellevue". It sounded promising and was a place I had not painted before. The midday sun was hot and the shadows from the pines felt wonderful. I decided to try to make a painting of the rocks and the reflected colours in the rapids on a small canvas panel.

The next painting #2805 "Grande Chute Swimming Honey Hole" would be completed perched on the top of the boulder that appears in the left portion of this painting. It was a bit of a risk to get myself and my paint box to the top of that rock but once I started, I had to finish.

#2803 "Grande Chute Mid-morning 2023"

#2803 "Grande Chute Mid-morning 2023"
10x8 oils on rough masonite

The best way to not over-work a plein air painting is to simply grab another panel. That is exactly what I did. I still had a few of these very rough masonite panels from my artist friend who had passed. I had promised that they would all be one day covered in oils. 

I moved a bit further out on the bridge to record how the fog had lifted. I could see down to the rocky ledge on the west side of the falls. My favourite swimming hole was down a steep ravine on the west bank of the Grande Chute just downstream from that rocky ledge. 

A family convoy of trucks, Rhinos and four-wheelers came by with all of their summer camping gear. They talked of a tornado near their camp. The sound was like the roar of a jet plane and trees were apparently down all over. Without a proper investigation, it is impossible to distinguish the severe damage from a downburst from that of a tornado. I doubt if that damage will ever be surveyed. 

The fog was gone but there were still deep purples at the bottom of the falls. It was going to be a bluebird day. 

I finished just in time to partake in a very interesting tour given by Wally Schaber about the rejuvenated Dumoine facilities and trails. Wally is the same Wallace A. Schaber who wrote "The Last of the Wild Rivers: The Past, Present, and Future of the Rivière du Moine Watershed". I missed out on getting a copy to own but the library should have a few. The Dumoine is rich with history and it needs to be recorded before it is lost. That is part of the job of artists as well.

#2802 "Grande Chute Sunrise 2023"

#2802 "Grande Chute Sunrise 2023"
14x11 oils on stretched canvas

I arrived at the Grand Chute at 7:45 am on Saturday morning August 5th, 2023 - the 146th anniversary of the birth of Tom Thomson in 1877 (also see "Tom Thomson Was A Weatherman"). I focus on Tom's art and the science behind it. I have opinions about how he died but it is much more important to discover how he lived. 

It had been three COVID years since I had last painted at the Grande Chute with CPAWS and I admit to being nostalgic. The roar of the rapids brought back many memories of people and places. 

Eastern approach to the Grande Chute   
Bridge with my completed painting
on the south side of the span. 

The road to Grand Chute becomes increasingly bumpier the further one gets away from Swisha and Rapids des Joachims. The others were still back at the camp and would not arrive for a few hours. I saw that they named one of my favourite painting locations as "Poen" - not quite sure what that means yet. 

There was a large, very flat and very dead garter snake on the eastern ramp to the Grand Chute Bridge. It had likely just been innocently sunning itself when it met its tragic end. My friend Maggie had watched a lynx stroll along that shore just a few days before.

The morning fog was just starting to lift when I sketched in my composition. There was a blue sky above. It was going to be a grand day - so to speak. The roar of the Grande Chute was music to my ears. It was good to be back painting from the Grande Chute Bridge. 

The fog and the colours were fleeting. I actually witnessed a lot of purple in that morning light. I could see down to my favourite swimming pool as the fog continued to burn off.

#2801 "Pennisseault Lake Morning"

#2801 "Pennisseault Lake Morning"
11x14 oils on stretched canvas

I was on my way back from Canadian Tire in Deep River where I picked up a replacement air mattress. I was hoping that the new one would not deflate in a couple of hours. Always positive... 

I stopped at the steep boat ramp leading into the south basin of Pennisseault Lake. It was a quiet location a hundred feet off the busy Dumoine Road. The southerly view also provided a clear look at the weather. I had a pair of loons do a flyby as I painted. I did not see any juvenile loons during the entire week I spent on the Dumoine. A large water snake also passed by at my feet. Otherwise, I was alone. 

The brisk easterly wind at cloud level shredded the cumulus as they raced on the way into the approaching low-pressure area. I could hear the wind descending into the tops of the pines as I was finishing up the painting. The whisper of the wind in the forest was almost musical. Water skater insects were liberally sprinkled across the surface of the still-calm lake. The dimples of their bodies darting around on the surface tension made it look like it was already raining. It was not. 

Done like dinner...

There was a deck of altocumulus above the brighter turbulent cumulus fractus. Altocumulus typically form in the gentle updraft preceding a storm. The deformation zone in the weather pattern was already far to the northeast. Thunderstorms were very likely to begin in just a few hours. Trees were blown down across the Dumoine Road again that afternoon in several places. Tornadoes were also reported in the Ottawa Valley. 

"Pennisseault" is French for "peninsula" - a piece of land that is almost entirely surrounded by water. I guess it also can describe the water.

Dumoine Road crosses the causeway creating two large bodies of water. The story goes (from my new friend Bob McDonald) that a local trucker had bought a brand new 600-horsepower truck that he would use to haul logs. As the driver approached the bridge, he had second thoughts that the wood-framed structure could take the load. He drove on. About halfway across the bridge, there was a tremendous crash. The trucker thought that the best option was to proceed quickly across the bridge rather than risk crashing into the water.

He made it safely across the bridge but the truck was wearing the roof of the old bridge like a hat. The present-day causeway replaced the historic covered bridge crossing. Not as elegant as the old covered bridge, but better suited to the larger and heavier logging loads on the road.

The lakes along the Dumoine road are "wide spots" in the Pinceau River which empties into the Ottawa River below the ZEC (Zone d'Expressions Coopératives - Area Co-Expression)

#2800 "Sunrise on Colton Bay of the Ottawa River"

#2800 "Sunrise on Colton Bay of the Ottawa River"
11x14 oils on stretched canvas

I left the CPAWS DRAW camp around 6:30 am on Friday morning August 4th. The inflatable mattress that I had purchased on a deep clearance sale at the Canadian Tire in Deep River was not holding up. It was a wonderful product but was flat within a couple of hours - I was as deflated as the mattress.

I gave the mattress a couple of nights to see if I could iron out the bugs. Sometimes the problem is not the product but the installer. Nothing seemed to fix the loss of air so I was on my way back into Deep River to see what might be done. 

There were several trees down across Dumoine Road on the way into Rapids des Joachims from the thunderstorms the night before. I was able to drive around them. They would all be cleaned up on my return trip back to the CPAWS DRAW Camp. 

I painted this scene on the way into Deep River at the boat launch in  Rapids des Joachims. I was early and the Canadian Tire would not be open yet. 

The sky told the weather story. I was looking southeastward into a sea of altocumulus gravity waves. Southerly winds drifted the patterns northward while I painted. Meanwhile, fog banks drifted over the adjacent slopes and down into the Ottawa River Valley. The rain from the thunderstorms the previous evening and overnight provided the moisture for the fog. All of this was reflected perfectly in the mirrored surface of the calm current. 

A lone fisherman was trolling slowly back and forth while seagulls dotted the surface waiting for something to happen. A large fish disturbed the surface of the water right in front of me. No one seemed to notice. In fact, no one paid me any attention. I painted as the sun rose in the eastern sky.

Done like dinner... now for the story of the discount mattress.

My friend Wally Schaber wrote: "Tiberius Colton son of Luther Colton of Hull went upriver to lumber, trade and finally build the Colton Hotel Swisha's first grand hotel 1853. Tiberius married into the Holt Family, freight forwarders, stage coach operators and hoteliers from Aylmer. Together they established Rapides Des Joachims as a village at the end of the steamboat line 1854-1871." History is needed to complete the story. Wally Schaber wrote a fascinating history: "The Last of the Wild Rivers: The Past, Present, and Future of the Rivière du Moine Watershed". Thank you Wally. 

After completing the painting, the very friendly clerk at the Canadian Tire Return Desk listened patiently to my sad story of woe. She checked the online reviews for a few minutes. She discovered that people either loved the product with five stars or described the same very sad tale in every detail that I had just related. There were still a few of the clearance mattresses in stock. Did I dare take my chances with another identical mattress? She offered another type of mattress but there would be paperwork. I held my breath and took my chances that the replacement would hold air. Luckily it did. 

My tent with the new mattress... installed.
