I was in fast water on the St Lawrence among the Brockville Islands. There is a surprising current and the best that I could do was to snap a quick photo of this island as I roared by in the current. There would have been no way to set up my easel! I was attracted by the flagged pines on the island as well as the many different colours of grey.
It was an equally grey day outside my studio with enough showers and thunderstorms to make cutting the grass out of the question. My goal was to have fun and to do something positive and creative. It was intimidating to try to make painting number one thousand extra special. I hope I have succeeded in making it at least above average! In any case, one thousand is simply another number - nine-hundred and ninety-nine plus one. I stayed loose with lots of paint. I find the acrylic tint to be very slippery and it also takes up some of the tooth of the canvas. I won't do too many more acrylic tints. I will stick to oil.
