Day 3 Dumoine River Art Retreat

Cullin  Lake

Day 3 (August 2, 2019) brought us to Cullin Lake . A short bumpy ride and then a wee hike bought us to another beautiful location for a day of painting.  Today I joined Tina, Olivia, Charlotte and John for another beautiful day of sun and scenery. 

Drive was only about ten minutes away but a fallen tree cut our chauffeured service short :)  Note to self... always pack light - just in case lol. 

The "beach" wasn't quite as big as we thought it would be but the view was fantastic. 

My first painting for the day was inspired by my view from the dock. I opted out of using my chair for fear of ending up in the lake - the dock was a bit narrow. 

This was a quick forest sketch - just before leaving

The piece below started as a painting of the trees with the canoe - above. But canoes are a strange shape and hard to do. I will have to practice a bit more. Needless to say - the canoe got painted out. ( You can still see a few of the canoe outlines if you look closely.
