Description
This is number forty-one of forty-six in the Canoe Lake Paddle as numbered along the path of the paddle. The owners of Camp Wapomeo have this to say about their camp.
"CAMP AHMEK FOR BOYS Located on the mainland shore of Canoe Lake in Algonquin Park, Camp Ahmek for boys has offered adventurous summers to campers since 1921. It is our goal and mission to give campers an experience that will improve their lifestyle by developing an advanced harmony with nature, their peers, and themselves. No matter if you are young or old, a camp veteran or a first timer, Ahmek has the power to captivate the spirits of all who play on its sandy beaches and swim in its crystal waters. As one of Canada's oldest camps, Ahmek maintains a tradition of excellence and is distinguished by its outstanding canoe tripping program. From overnights to 50 days, Ahmek campers are accustomed to quality canoe trips and unforgettable adventures!"
This is the way Canadian children and children everywhere should be spending their summers - just my opinion of course.
Like any structure, it can be a full time and expensive job to keep these buildings like new. They were certainly well used and enjoyed during the camping season. This is the Sailer's house. I was looking southward and paddling toward the south end of Canoe Lake. The clouds in the sky were getting much more expressive. Rain was on the way.
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.
