Description
I headed out early to paint. My friend and fine artist Lawrence Nickle was going to rendezvous later.
The deer flies were really active even at 6 am. I set up my easel at a little opening just upstream from the falls were Lawrence and I would meet later in the day. As I painted to the swirl of deer flies and the cedar wax wings fluttering in the bushes at my feet, I heard a lot of sloshing sounds in the water. I knew it was a very large creature and guessed what it might be. I did not see the bull moose until it was in the middle of the lake to my right. My camera battery died at that very moment but I still managed a couple of images.
This is the reality and beauty of plein air. Expect the unexpected and surround yourself with nature and inspiration.
I used this very same title for another painting (by accident) #1141 "Magnetawan Morning". It can be a challenge sometimes to have unique titles but I try....

The more I paint, the more I realize that being surrounded by nature and on location, is vital and those elements find their way into the pigments somehow.
