Oils on canvas panel 4 X 6 (inches).

from very near N46.464872 W77.765106.

The sun was climbing above the Dumoine treeline. It was going to be a hot one so I retreated to the last bit of shadow to paint. I paddled eastward against the weak cyclonic swirl toward where I had first launched the canoe several days before. I pushed the canoe onto the sandy shore so it would not drift while I painted. I could have simply stepped out of the canoe and painted from the shore but there was no time to waste. The sun would clear the forest in the minutes it would take to move my easel. 

The paints were flying in my canoe as I raced to capture the moment.

This is number twenty-nine 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,
