Description
A very well heeled Mattawa during the early morning hours makes for a very interesting painting subject. The canoeist was positioned on the kneeling thwart and had the canoe cranked over just right for easy handling. There is no keel on these canoes and they can spin on a dime.
The painting is based on an stunning photo by Henry Georgi (with permission) that was used in the Swift Canoe and Kayak Catalogue from the mid 1990's. The sun was very bright and it looked like an idyllic morning on the water - very inspiring.
I have my share of Swift canoes and kayaks. I have been told that I have enough but we all know that the canoeist who dies with the most canoes, wins. You don't actually win anything of course. About a decade later I would purchase a Mattawa canoe constructed by Swift very much like the one in this painting.
