Description
My son and I were walking along the abandoned rail line north of Chaffey's Locks during the summer of 1995. This group of sumac shadows on the granite rocks caught my eye and I stored the memory for a painting.
We were camping at Clear Lake and the Green Valley Campground and were on a combination canoe and hiking expedition. The Chadwick Family had been enjoying the Green Valley Camp since 1959. I spent countless hours paddling the Rideau system between the Newboro and Chaffey's Locks mainly by myself. I would be gone all day exploring in the green, 15 foot fiberglass Cadorette canoe (Canots Cadorette Canoes Inc St Jean Des Piles Boat Company). I saw a lot of interesting nature and got a lot of exercise. The canoe was close to 70 pounds and took some real effort to propel it through the water or to carry it across short-cut to Newboro Lake over the isthmus that now holds Folly Road. Eventually I grew up, married and kids came along. We continued exploring the beauty of that portion of the Rideau.

What a beautiful abstract of the sumac shadows and a wonderful memory to go with it! Hope you are putting these all together in book form...one painting on the page and then the memory on the page right next to it...it could be a very large book, but not that much work, because you have already written it, one post at a time. Smart! Congratulations, Phil, you have a wonderful living legacy and it inspires me and many others, I am sure! Beautiful work! l/f

You are on to me Sunny :>) Yes, I treat art as a creative journey and each painting and post is another step along that trip of making memories and passing them along to your family and friends. One does not begrudge the effort. The memories are reward enough and never fail to put a smile on my face. Thank you so much Sunny... you are special.
