Description
Some of the CPAWS artists returned returned back to the eastern end of the bridge that crossed Grande Chute. Vic, Angela and Lynne were my painting partners.
This is the view looking northeast along the edge of the east channel leading into Grande Chute. A large white cedar gripped the granite of this bank. The many branches of the white cedar sagged toward the current. The current of the Dumoine would eventually undercut the bank and pitch this white cedar into the chute - but for now the tree was clinging to dry land.
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 too early 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 scratch my name in the wet paint immediately after finishing each plein air painting. If I am in the artistic zone I sometime forget this step. The signature is very subtle but is there in the paint forever when the oils dry. I don't like my signature to get in the way of the art.
