Description
It was dawn on the third day of the very the First CPAWS Dumoine Art Camp - Saturday. The showers and heavy thunderstorms had ended overnight. Everything was wet. I understand some tents really got soaked. I was up early as usual and decided to paint the tall trees along the lane into the Dumoine CPAWS Art Camp. Inspiration could be found wherever you choose to look.
This view is looking southwest along a secondary lane. The sky was clear and that characteristic colour of early morning blue. The sunrise was just catching the tops of the trees. Every tree has a special shape and signature. There was a rhythm in the trees that I wanted to come through in the painting. Note that I was still not wearing my reading glasses. One does not want to see all of the details while painting en plein air. The biting insects were hungry and I wore my bug suit as protection.
Saturday was the 140th Anniversary of Tom Thomson's birth in 1877 in Claremont, Pickering Township about 50 km east of Toronto on Lake Ontario. Tom was the sixth of ten children. Tom was only two months old when the family moved to a farm in Leith, eleven km northeast of Owen Sound. Tom died much to early and just shy of his 40th birthday on July 8, 1917. I hope that Tom would have been pleased with my plein air efforts on this special day. I tend to remember his birthday rather than his death day... positive rather than negative.
