#2889 "Dumoine Campsite Sandy Beach Foggy Sunrise"

#2889 "Dumoine Campsite Sandy Beach Foggy Sunrise"
Oils on canvas panel 4 X 6 (inches).
Started 6:30 am Saturday, August 3rd, 2024
from very near N46.463425 W77.771853.

     The yellow push-pin reveals where my canoe was bobbing.       

I was up at 6 am and on the water in minutes. It was even foggier on Saturday morning as the Dumoine got deeper into the warm sector of the summer weather system. 

The water was calm so I decided to paint from my canoe. I was quietly floating just off the sandy beach where most trippers land their canoes. The view was toward the west-northwest. No canoeists had used that campsite for several days. 

I was in the artistic zone and even forgot to take photos of this painting in progress.

This is number twenty-six 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. 

Painting "done like dinner" on the shore when I realized I had not taken any "in progress" photos.

Warmest regards and keep your paddle in the water,
