Description
This is Paresseau Falls downstream from Portage de Talon on the Mattawa River in June 2016. My son and I paddled up from the end of the portage to take a closer look. This was the very good reason behind the portage. This was the last of a series of portages headed up the Mattawa River. The Voyageurs travelling upstream no longer needed their river poles. The canoeists would throw away their river poles or "perches" at the Portage des Perches which bypassed Paresseau Falls. Those push poles had all rotted away by the time we made the portage around the falls.
I had returned to painting some wonderful memories since COVID-19 required self-isolation. I was using the rough side of an historic piece of masonite. An artist friend had passed away and his spouse offerred me his remaining panels to use. I promised to use them all in his memory. This was a studio work because the summer sun and heat were oppressive. The air conditioning was not working in the Singleton Studio so it was starting to get warm in there as well.

So fresh and such frothy water...you can really almost hear it and feel it...Amazing and beautiful! The texture of the rough side of the Masonite works so well for this...ENERGIZING! l/f

Thank you again Sunny. These images bring back a lot of great memories with family - like working the past few days with my Brother in the autumn forest getting fire wood and making shleters for all creatures. We are all in this together.
