Description

This is a memory from over 40 some years ago. This is an oil painting of the lower rapids of Lake Wenasaga in NW Ontario, as I remember it on a summer day one late June. My wife and I were with her Mom and Dad. We'd been fishing and out exploring the day and came upon one of the few line cabins of a Chippewa trapper...the trapper's son had sold the main cabin and property to my father-in-law many years before. I didn't take a photo of the line cabin...I don't remember why? Maybe because it was becoming part of the earth again; hadn't been used in decades and nature was reclaiming it. But the view across the rapids in front of the line cabin was classic "North Country" and I couldn't resist recording that!
