Description
This was the sunrise of 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 returned to the shores of the Dumoine across from the Fish and Game Club where we were camped. I am very respectful of property and only leave footprints behind if that. There was a series of quaint cabins on the north side of the Dumoine where it makes an S Turn series of rapids downstream from the Grand Chute Portage Put In. 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.
The fog was not as thick as previous mornings. The temperature had bottomed out at plus 12 Celsius overnight. I had a great sleep and it was not so cold. Art is work and I have the T-shirt to prove it. A good sleep after a busy day is very satisfying.
I set up right on the edge of the Dumoine hoping to catch the misty atmosphere. The weather changed very quickly and that foggy notion evapourated with the sun. Another group of canoeists left their Grand Chute campsite with the dawn. They mainly followed the deeper channel of the Dumoine with great success. I included the transient vortices on the fringe of the current. The sandbar on the far side was a nice place to sit on the edge with your legs dangling in the current. The broad strokes on this canvas brings back a lot of pleasant memories.

Those canoes came around the little rapids as I painted. Only one followed the deeper water :>) Thank you Sunny!
