White Water Kayak Painting
The thrill of shooting the rapids amid the rugged beauty of Northern Ontario's Pre-Cambrian shield rock forest is indesputable. In this watercolor painting the vibrant colors of the kayaker and his yellow kayak are the obvious focal point. His concentration is intense. There is nothing more exhilarating than accepting nature's challenge and nothing more intoxicating than the completion of a successful white water descent down a narrow chute through a natural channel bound by enormous boulders in a forest setting.
Competitive canoe and kayak racing events of Sprint and Slalom have been part of Olympic competition since 1936. In Sprint competition, the oldest discipline, sometimes referred to as "Flatwater Racing", races are typically held for single, double and four-person sprint canoes and kayaks. Canoe sprint takes place on a straight course divided into lanes, on calm water. Each boat has its own designated lane. For each race a number of heats, semi-finals and a final may be necessary, depending on the number of competitors. In contrast, Slalom racers are timed in completing a descent down the rapids of a whitewater course, in the process steering their canoes or kayaks through "gates" (a pair of suspended poles about 1 m apart), including going up against the flow, across the flow, and surfing the standing waves of the rapids.
