Kawishiwi River in August 2010, Acrylic on Canvas 16 x 20 inches In early August, my family spent a week at a resort in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area of northern Minnesota. My brother and I took some time one afternoon to enjoy a short canoe trip into the BWCA on the Kawishiwi River. The day started out sunny and later turned overcast. The water was beautiful, reflecting the grey sky and trees. The area of the river depicted in this painting is a narrows where there are large boulders underwater and along the shore. We met a few other canoers, some of whom looked as though they were packed for an extended stay in the wilderness. This is an area I'd like to return to for a longer trip myself someday. This painting was a special one for me, as it is a Christmas gift to my brother. My brother Bryan holding his painting
