Description
This is number seventeen in the Canoe Lake Paddle as numbered along the path of the paddle. I paddled for a full five minutes after #1851 "Spruce Island". But I did not travel far. This is the southwestern edge of the southern tip of Little Wapomeo Island. The distant land is "Mowat" on the northwestern shore of Canoe Lake. The boat house and dock have been moved around over the years - probably by the ice. The cottage looked comfortable. What a great place to spend time in any part of the year.
The feel of the painting is a strong function of the smooth but textured surface, the bold strokes and the aging oils. I was still working with the original palette of paint from several weeks before. Some of the oils were getting gooey. I was just adding new pigments as I needed them. Waste not, want not... I used a lot of paint on this small and very slippery surface. I simply laid the oils in and tried to leave them alone - continued stroking of the paint would turn the oils into mud. I scratched my signature into the wet paint with a tooth-pick.

Thank you Sunny... one of my Canoe Lake pilgrimage paintings :>)) It was supposed to be torrential rain but I had the lake to myself - thanks to a missed forecast and my friend, a deformation zone.
