Painting - Oil On Panel
Description
I was very busy painting on the last morning of the CPAWS Dumoine River Art Camp - it was the August Holiday Monday. I was down to my last few panels from my canoe pack. This was my last piece of smooth panel tinted with burnt sienna oils. This was also the last painting completed during the 2017 Art Camp. It was time to break camp return home.
The clouds had transformed again with the approach of the next system from the southwest. Gravity waves were appearing in the overcast cloud deck. There was definitely energy in the upper atmosphere. Showers and thunderstorms were bound to arrive later in the day (they did). The weather is never dull and the clouds always have a tale to tell.
This is the view turned west-southwestward across Robinson Lake and the neighbouring small point of land. There were several black spruce on this point. When grown on high and dry ground, black spruce trees are taller and thicker. When it grows in wetlands, the tree is much smaller like those that I observed. Trees grown in wetlands can reach 200 years of age. Black spruce cones are egg shaped, 2 to 3 centimetres long, and are dark brown. They are found at the top of the tree and may stay on the tree for up to 30 years. The needles of the black spruce are short and dark bluish-green with blunt ends. I enjoyed paint them on the smooth panel with bold strokes.
