Description
This is number twelve in the Canoe Lake Paddle as numbered along the path of the paddle. This is only a minute of paddling to the north of #1846 "Still Standing". At my rate of a couple of strokes per minute with each stroke averaging 10 feet of travel or so, this blazing red soft maple tree was only 20 feet or so to the nroth of the scene which included the dead spruce tree that was still standing after goodness knows how many years of weather and wind. There was indeed a fresh painting with every stroke of the paddle.
The overcast stratus gave a gentle and diffuse light to the forest. As a result there was no dazzling sunlight to over-power the emerging colours of the maples and birches that lined the shore. The reflections in the dark waters of Canoe Lake were just as brilliant as the original colours direct from the trees themselves.
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.
