Long Weekend



Wakaw Lake Shorelines

  
  
That very Canadian institution of the 'long weekend at the lake' became one of Fritz's favorite quiet times for painting. Friends or relatives would extend invitations and in the later years, purchase of a cabin at Wakaw Lake, Saskatchewan, made the trips to the lake more frequent.




 
 
 
This in turn made the 'unrolling of the canvasses' as mentioned in the Retrospective booklet (link on the right), a much more common event. Delightful, in that so many peaceful summer moods were captured over the years.
