Description
A serene lakeside scene features tall trees and simple wooden logs arranged in a hexagonal shape on the forest floor. The calm water reflects the lush greenery, evoking a sense of peaceful solitude in nature.
I suspected that this would be my last full day of painting at CPAWS DRAW 2024 so I did not wish to waste a moment. Numerous jobs that I needed to attend were waiting for me back home.
After completing #2894 "Dumoine Gravity Waves on Gravity Waves", I moved the easel a bit inland to chronicle the fire pit. I typically paint a fire pit on every CPAWS DRAW. I also wanted to stay in the shade and the August heat was going to make painting a challenge.
This was painted on the rough side of a masonite panel. Resist the urge to overwork a canvas. Lay it in and leave it alone, move on...
On the first night at this portion of the Dumoine just south of Richard Rapids, I watched a large blaze from this fire pit. The fire pit could handle such a blaze, even though it was certainly unadvisable and impractical. The flames would have also consumed a lot of wood. If one wants to be comfortable, just sit closer to a small fire. It also makes conversation and viewing the stars that much easier.
This is number thirty-two of thirty-five paintings I completed en plein air at CPAWS DRAW 2024. It was a wonderful experience with a terrific group of people. https://cpaws-ov-vo.org/draw-retreat-artists/ A portion of sales from this endeavour will go to support CPAW and keep the 'wild' in the wilderness.

This was a huge campsite on the Dumoine. I had to record the fire pit in oils. It was used three times in the week I camped in the area.
