Paddling with a Painter

I’ve just returned from a revitalizing September outing with friend and artist, Kevin Raines. Ah, the perfection of portaging to Rock Pond and then paddling with a painter… In lieu of chronicling with wordy description, attempting to transcribe the deeply restorative and aesthetically inspiring excursion into sentences and paragraphs, I’ll offer a photo essay. Hope it moves you!

Before stepping aside to let images tell the story, I’d prologue the gallery with Kevin’s words.

I remembered the Adirondacks as a region of magnificent mountains and innumerable lakes and streams, where light, color, and temperature often changed unexpectedly; as a place where nature’s timeless cadence moved me, filled me, and absorbed me into itself… a place where one can find peace in one’s own insignificance. — Kevin Raines (Source: “A Path of Many Guides: Painting a Way Home” via

Thank you, Kevin!
