Dig the cool satisfaction of not knowing – A Houseboat Studio on Lake Temagami
We were visited by an incredible woman on the lake this year. Caryn Colman, who founded Smoothwater Outfitters in Temagami has been floating about the lake in a houseboat studio this summer. Here she is here in the back end of the boat:
As a lapsed painter I found the whole visit on her boat quite inspiring. Just the evidence of creative endeavor and the thought of spending the summer months floating along in such beautiful surroundings pulled on something deep within me.
Houseboat docked at boathouse: Here we can see the inside of her boat with Water’s ghostly image behind a reflection of the lake. He’s examining a selection of prints to add to the cottage. In the background we see a few letters from the sign of the boathouse (Camp Chee-ko) through the front door of the boat.
An example of Caryn’s work – Clouds and Water…
And my favorite thing to find was this little note, posted on her refrigerator.
Can you dig it?
