Description
This is number thirty-nine of forty-six in the Canoe Lake Paddle as numbered along the path of the paddle. I believe this is the southern tip of Chubby's Island. The lone dead spruce caught my eye along with the colourful autumn maples. Some scenes attract me more than others and this is one of my favourites. The reflections from the shore were generally darker in the tea stained waters of Canoe Lake.
The cloud bases were getting darker but there was no virga yet at least in the western sky. I still had time to dawdle my way back to the southern end of Canoe Lake - plus I never minded the rain anyway.
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.
