Description
I could see the deformation zone on the western horizon. The sunny skies would not last long. I prowled around looking for something to catch my eye. The window of opportunity when you can safely stand on Long Reach is very brief so I set up on the ice of Long Reach just downstream from Jim Day Rapids. I used another 8x10 stretched canvas mounted on an 11x14 panel. I keep my fingers clean and never have to touch the painted surface. My goal was to use a lot of paint and to capture the moment without any unnecessary details. It is easier said than done.
The creatures of the Singleton Sanctuary were busy foraging. The Sanctuary was actually quite noisy and every few minutes the ice would make some loud, unsettling cracking noises as well. The sounds from the ice always got my attention and I could sometimes feel the vibration up through my boots. It was overcast by the time I finished.

Oh the TEAL! Glorious scene and fantastic contrast and colors! The pop of red centers everything and brings the eye back after a delightful trip around Winterland! Glorious work, Phil Chadwick...a real smile-maker! L/F/Pinterest

I often apply those stabs of red with a tooth pick after I "dot" the i in my signature. Sometimes the colour is even there. Thank you Sunny. I have been painting up a storm!
