Description
This was Day Five of the Canadian Parks and Wilderness Society (CPAWS) supported DRAW (Dumoine River Art for Wilderness) 2019. We were all eco-artists trying to assist with the awareness of the importance of wilderness in modern society.
Donald Warren Smith was a retired teacher from Mackenzie High School in Deep River where he worked between 1968 to 1998. Don was also the Owner/Proprietor of Valley Ventures-Deep River. Sadly Don passed away in Deep River at the age of 65 on Saturday, January 6, 2007 - much too soon. There is a sign in memory of Don Smith on the east side of Grand Chute just downstream from the Bridge. I have painted there many times.
We were getting a bit later heading out to paint with each passing day. On the final day I was not on the job until 8 am after a hearty meal of oatmeal and coffee. The pie for breakfast dessert was all gone. It was also staying a bit warmer overnight so the sunrise fog and mist were not nearly as thick.
I set up on the rocky ledge in front of the sign in memory of Don Smith. I am sure he watched me paint. I hope he approved. I tried to capture the energy of the cascade in the old oils.

Fabulous water patterns and such a great composition...the timeless and pure sense of the wilderness and the sound of the rushing river...beautiful and so abstract and yet very real...amazing! l/f

I was wondering if you could hear the rush of the water Sunny. Thank you so much. The oils were getting thick with age but I liked that. It was almost three dimensional. So very kind of you to support my art my friend!
