Description
This was the morning of Day Three of the Canadian Parks and Wilderness Society (CPAWS http://www.cpaws-ov-vo.org/) 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.
The showers foretold by the altocumulus castellannus (ACC) had arrived as I started this painting. The visibility dropped significantly and I thought that we might be in for a deluge. I painted on. The far hill west of the Dumoine was totally obscured by the heavy rain and I braced for the sudden down rush of cool air followed by heavy rain. I painted quickly but I need not have worried. When the shower arrived I could count the drops. The main area of heavy rain had passed just to the north.
A group of six canoes came through the rapids as I painted. They had to be novices although they were certainly geared up properly for the adventure. All but the last canoe took the sand bar shortcut when they exited the last set of rapid ripples. The guide followed the deep downstream "V" of the main channel properly. The other canoeists had to get out of their canoes and drag them over the logs and the sand of the left eddy. I waved.

Van Gogh would want to go and paint with you if he could and he would probably be jealous, too. I have to say this again: this is really and truly MAGNIFICENT, Mr. Phil Chadwick!
Phil Chadwick replied:
What a wonderful start to a new day Sunny. Thank you for the highest complement you could ever imagine. Years ago another patron suggested that my art was Tom Thomson meeting Vincent Van Gogh... artists who I hold in the highest esteme. To hear the same from you suggests that my artist adventure is on the right track. Thank you Sunny!

Stunning! The colors in this are absolutely fantastic, Phil! So unique with the clouds actually looking like puzzle pieces...definitely a masterpiece and one of my top favorites of all your works. In the top twenty, for sure! Beautiful and brilliant and inspiring! l/f

... one never knows what a plein air experience will bring. I think like Tom and Vincent, that the beauty of nature lies in the moment with nothing in between. Thank you Sunny.
