This painting, by Dwayne James, is among my favorite. It is an obvious riff on the beaver tale paddle that used for canoes, but it is so much better. The rippling light on the water reminds me so much of our hours spent in the canoe that it has a special place in my heart already. but beavers are just made for canoes. Everybody knows that.
The whole news reel is wonderful but go to 5:32 to see what I mean.
