Description
The ledges on the Grande Chute of the Dumoine River were a great place to swim. The bottom was rough with large boulders but the back eddy spilled a constant flow of water over you if you hung on to the rocks on the edge of the current. I wanted to record the place and maybe capture some of the fun I enjoyed painting and swimming in that pool. The summer air mass was still hot and humid as one would expect with the southwesterly flow right off the Gulf of Mexico - a water vapour plume is what the pattern can be called. This painting was intended as a partner to #2150 "Grande Chute Ledge Torrent".
I tried to catch the energy in the rapids. There is emotion in the motion and the commotion of fast moving water. The smooth panels require that you mix the correct colour, lay it in and leave it alone. If one tries to go back in to polish the brush stroke or maybe correct a tone or colour, the rocks would quickly turn into mud. It was better to just plunge into the scene and enjoy the moment.
The paired paintings of #2150 "Grande Chute Ledge Torrent" and #2151 "Grande Chute Cataract" required a third in order to keep them in balance. That was the intent of painting #2152 "Grande Chute Waterfall".
