Description
Seven modern, white water canoes were following the down-river path of the historical voyageurs in early June 2016. There was lots of water to make the rapids passable. The boulder fields at the low water outlet of the rapids did provide a few obstacles but we made it through. Two hundred years ago there would have been much more traffic on this water highway. It would have been the only route into the heart of the new land.
It had rained hard the previous night but cold air mass stratocumulus and remnants of fog and stratus were a welcome shield from the blazing sun of the previous few days. Turbulent stratocumulus with the northwesterly winds behind the cold front filled the skies. The wave action was high enough to occasionally roll over the gunwales. My goodness, this was a fun trip that was full of irreplaceable memories. I just had to record it in oil only hoping that some of the feelings would make it into the pigments.
Art is more than tone, colour and shapes. You need to get the rhythm and emotion into the brush strokes which is something that the camera has a challenge with.
