#2871 "Early Morning Mist on the Dumoine"

#2871 "Early Morning Mist on the Dumoine" 
Oils on stretched canvas 10 X 12 (inches).
Started 8:00 am Wednesday, July 31st, 2024 from
very near N46.466369 W77.766256. 

The morning fog was still lifting but the visibility across the wide portion of the Dumoine River was excellent. I again included Pincushion Island although it barely showed in the foggy light. John had started to paint his red cabin a shade of brown the previous day. I did not have what I needed on the palette so I left it as a red cabin for another day. Someone was paddling along the shore in a red canoe. 

It felt as though the world was still in a fog and slow to wake up. I hope that feeling comes across in the pigments and brush strokes. 

I was standing in the water at the shoreline where I had launched the canoe a couple of days before.

This is number eight of thirty-five paintings I completed en plein air at CPAWS DRAW 2024. 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 CPAW and keep the 'wild' in the wilderness.

Warmest regards and keep your paddle in the water,
