Description
This is number thirteen in the Canoe Lake Paddle as numbered along the path of the paddle. This is only 30 seconds of paddling to the north of #1848 "Blazing Crimson". As a rough estimate, this tree is one or perhaps two strokes which converts to 10 or 15 feet north of the blazing red soft maple tree. There was indeed a fresh painting with every stroke of the paddle.
There is an ancient stump at the waters edge that would (wood) be the remains of a pine from hundreds of years before. The dead pine to the left on the deciduous tree on the shore is not as old as the stump. The dead spruce to the right of the still healthy apricot, cadmium foliage still retains some needles and smaller branches so it certainly a more recent casualty to the wear and tear of life. The deciduous tree was still going strong and vibrant. All of these stages were reflected in the gently rippled surface of Canoe Lake.
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. 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.
