Description
This is number twenty-seven in the Canoe Lake Paddle as numbered along the path of the paddle. This is the point a hundred yards or so into Whiskey Jack Bay before you turn to the northwest. The flock of mallards kept flushing head of me and going deeper into the shallow bay. The tall black spruce was the star of this point of land. Aside from the wildlife, I was all alone.
The feel of the painting is a strong function of the smooth but textured surface, the bold strokes and the aging oils. I was still working with the original palette of paint from several weeks before. I was just adding new pigments as I needed them. Waste not, want not...
I used a lot of paint on this small and very slippery surface. I simply laid the oils in and tried to leave them alone - continued stroking of the paint would turn the oils into mud. I scratched my signature into the wet paint with a tooth-pick.

I sense you were never alone Phil! The tall black spruce are witches in disguise. Quietly observing all, that travel on by!
