Oils on stretched canvas 8 X 10 (inches).

from very near N46.466853 W77.768269. 

I was chasing the shadows of the Dumoine forest and moved my easel back to the canoe beach beside the large white pine. The sun was firmly in the western sky and the large tree cast a cool and pleasant shadow for me. 

The southeasterly winds in the lowest levels of the atmosphere had generated parallel Langmuir streets of stratocumulus. The clouds were backlit by the afternoon sun. The winds were consistent with the ridge of high pressure passing to the east of John's Cabin. The parade of weather systems never ends. 

The valley of the Dumoine River trailed away to the south and the hills became progressively more muted in colour. 

This is number twenty 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,
