Description
Paul Bartlett's blue canoe and my "Margaritaville, are pictured on the Shoal Lake side of the Bass Lake to Shoal Lake portage. Paul, Keith and I were out on a 5-day trip and we wanted to spend the day on Shoal Lake. We have caught large pike in the shallow water on the southeast end of Shoal and there is one spot that yields a lot of chunky bass. We let almost everything go except for a fish or two for a shore lunch.
These canoe trips are the highlight of the year.
Some people notice the "hand of God" in this painting. It actually was intentional when I saw it in the rocks and colours. It's a beautiful place! The end of this particular portage is one of my favourite places - not just because it’s the end of an 810 metre Canadian Shield trek. The colours of shallow water morph into those of vegetation. The colours conceal where the land ends and the channel to Shoal Lake begins. This is part of the Restoule Provincial Park and the Restoule Upper French Canoe Routes.

Beautiful work here, Phil! This painting is so beautiful and inviting, it makes me want to dive right in and go for a canoe ride!

Art provides an opportunity for kaleidoscopic thinking. Each time we shift the lens of our perceptions, we gain new perspectives — and new opportunities for innovation. CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR RECENT SALE OF AN WONDERFUL WORK!

Thank you Henry. This painting brings back a wonderful memory of a Sunday afternoon in 2001.

Every time I see this I say "WOW"!
Phil Chadwick replied:
Thanks Bruce... I wish it happened every-time I stepped up to the easel :>)))) It sadly does not but I still have fun and that what art and life are all about anyway.

Phil Chadwick replied:
This is my favourite... number 523. I am currently painting number 2223 and my wife doesn't think I have surpassed the canoes yet. I keep trying :>)

Beautiful!
Phil Chadwick replied:
Thanks Kathy. If I had a favourite painting, this might be it. I keep trying...

Thank you so much Susan... this is #523 - my all time favourite from a Sunday afternoon in 2001. I keep trying to match it and I am now wqorking on #1680. Sometimes I think I might have come close but never quite. This is one of two originals that I will not sell. I have it in our dining room and smile every time I see it - it brings back some great memories...
