Description
This was Day Four 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.
I decided to paint what appeared to be the main cabin on the north side of the Dumoine where it makes an S Turn series of rapids downstream from the Grand Chute Portage Put In. I asked about the property and discovered that the family would not be up until the fall. There was no one to ask and thus I took it on myself to take the responsibility of painting from the shore and ensuring there would be no disruption to the properties or any sign that we were ever there - aside from the finished paintings. The swimming was also great and we floated the Dumoine current to the downstream sand bars several times.
This cabin would have provided everything one really needs for a prolonged stay on the Dumoine. We need to spend more time outside anyway - trying to get back in touch with nature. The invasive fog of the World Wide Web does not penetrate into the Dumoine like the overnight radiational mist. According to the Web itself, "The World Wide Web is the universe of network-accessible information, an embodiment of human knowledge." The Web cannot replace the knowledge and joy one gains by simply being quiet and surrounded by nature or floating in the current of the Dumoine.

Art provides an opportunity for kaleidoscopic thinking. Each time we shift the lens of our perceptions, we gain new perspectives — and new opportunities for innovation. CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR RECENT SALE OF AN WONDERFUL WORK!

Thank you so very. It was indeed a pleasant surprise to have so many prints go to new homes.

Wonderful description and what a gorgeous scene...great colors and light and shadows and of course, not over-worked and fabulous, deliberate brushwork...delightful! A great reminder, Mr. Chadwick, about the importance of preserving the wilderness and taking care of it and ourselves! l/f

Can you imagine an extended family staying in the cabin... no WiFi or tablets... just people having fun in nature. Kids running around... campfires ... really living. Thank you Sunny.
