Like Constable, Munnings enjoyed the sights and sounds of the River Stour, being the son of a miller. In his autobiography, he describes his love of the water: sailing the Norfolk Broads or watching the Harwich Regatta. Carrying on the theme begun when Violet first moved to Dedham, of a canoe on the Stour, Munnings paints a scene far removed from the impending Second World War. In this painting, the models are in a Canadian canoe, tied to the bank at Flatford.
