This was the fourth work of the three-day International Plein Air Painters (IPAP) WORLDWIDE Paint Out. There was not much of an "internet" in the autumn of 2001 to facilitate the forming of the International Plein Air Painters Organization. This plein air painting group was simply started within "Yahoo Groups". Small gatherings of artists responded to the horrific tragedy that was 911 throughout the United States, Canada, Brazil, Italy and some islands in the Caribbean. In 2024 International Plein Air Painters celebrates its 23rd Anniversary. I am a Charter and Honours Signature member of IPAP joining immediately in October 2001 when approached by the founder and my friend Jacq Baldini. 

The only people that I have ever seen on this small island were fishing guides and their clients. There is a nice fire pit and a convenient place to relax in the midday heat. I have yet to discover a proper name for this particular island although the one just to the north is clearly labelled as Indian Island on maps. That island also sports a "No Trespassing" sign so I have never actually beached my canoe on its shore. 

I do not know the actual name of this island if there is one - yet. I just imagined that "Shore Lunch Isle" was most appropriate.
