Description
This was the morning of the fourth day at the CPAWS Dumoine River Art Camp - Sunday. I decided to paint on the shore of Robinson Lake after returning from Grande Chute and the early morning painting session. The Subaru Forrester was getting low on gas and I needed to reserve enough in the tank to get back the 35 kilometres or so to Swisha. The rest of the paintings were all completed from the same spot on the north shore of Robinson Lake. The bugs were still hungry so the mesh suit of armour was essential.
I had very few canvases left so I started to paint on my canoe panels that I keep in special water proof plastic containers.
The CPAWS Dumoine River Art Camp Open House had started and visitors were arriving for the 11 am to 3 pm meet and greet. The artists including myself painted around the camp and demonstrated what we did. Every artist was somewhat different with varying materials, techniques and styles. Tina and Angela were painting with me.
This is the view turned southwestward across Robinson Lake and the neighbouring small point of land. There were several black spruce on this point. When grown on high and dry ground, black spruce trees are taller and thicker. When black spruce grow in wetlands, the tree is much smaller like those that I observed. Trees grown in wetlands can reach 200 years of age. Black spruce cones are egg shaped, 2 to 3 centimetres long, and are dark brown. They are found at the top of the tree and may remain on the tree for up to 30 years. The needles of the black spruce are short and dark bluish-green with blunt ends. I enjoyed paint them on a smooth panel with bold strokes.
