Description
This is the seventh painting of the Parry Sound Group of Painters. It rained hard overnight and it was still raining when I set up on the beach. I intended to do another demo but only a few chipmunks appeared. The ladies were still pondering the very provocative and serious questions posed the previous evening around the campfire regarding the art of Tom Thomson, his mysterious death and the Group of Seven. The campfire resurrected the ghost of the guide party from Saturday July 7th, 1917. Everyone except me and Claire was or had been a docent with the McMichael Gallery. The definition of the term is very interesting.
do·cent noun
- a person who acts as a guide, typically on a voluntary basis, in a museum, art gallery, or zoo.
- (in certain universities and colleges) a member of the teaching staff immediately below professorial rank.
The conversation was a gift beyond compare with everyone bringing something unique and rewarding to the fire.
I started the fire again with a few dry sticks and that smoke lifted in front on the white pines that also reached for the sky. We all should strive to such heights and philosophical pursuits. Tom would have been pleased and his spirit certainly inspired the group. This kind of fireside conversation on a chilly, clear night in early October is beyond any price-tag and I am indebted to the docents.
