Description
This is number thirty in the Canoe Lake Paddle as numbered along the path of the paddle. I was paddling around the point of land separating Potter Creek from Joe Lake. The white birches were busting into colour. The soft maples were the red fires just up from the edge of the water. There was also some ancient Canadian shield showing along the shoreline as well as the typical stumps and dead head logs. I try to inject the feel of theplace without recording every twig.
The feel of the painting is a strong function of the smooth but textured surface, the bold strokes and the aging oils. I was still working with the original palette of paint from several weeks before. Some of the oils were getting gooey. I was just adding new pigments as I needed them. Waste not, want not... I used a lot of paint on this small and very slippery surface. I simply laid the oils in and tried to leave them alone - continued stroking of the paint would turn the oils into mud. I scratched my signature into the wet paint with a tooth-pick.

Thank you Richard. I think I prefer the small panel to the larger 3x4 footer. That's the way it goes I guess. One has time to think during those bigger canvases and thinking can be over-rated :>))
