Surely you mean "old-form long-nosed Ojibwai"!

Thought it might be worthwhile pointing out that there's a Winslow Homer show starting Nov 2 at MFA Boston. Should be some pretty good canoe art there I expect. Hope I can talk the wife into it.

Here's another artist with a more traditional feel. A few years ago, I stumbled upon the art page dedicated to Michael Connolly (1952-2008) setup by his daughter, Sarah. Lots of wonderful paintings there with a canoe tripping theme.

Here's my favourite...

Rusty's Camp

Here's another called "Encampment at Dawn"

That green wall tent looks a lot like the one I see in Robin's trip reports

I went to this last week with my wife. Sadly, it was too crowded to enjoy or even view the paintings despite the timed entries. Bummer.

Well, it's pointy on both ends, and open.....Thomas Cole’s “The Voyage of Life: Youth” (1840)

Building greatly on this theme, the Canadian Canoe Museum is currently hosting an exhibit called "Canoe Perspectives", paintings from the McCreah Collection featuring 40 works from artists including Frances Anne Hopkins, F. H. Johnston, Alex Colville, and Ken Danby, among others.

Temporary Exhibit: Canoe Perspectives

Experience a selection from the largest private collection of original Canadian art featuring the canoe, and discover the rich artistic traditions that reveal how this vessel continues to inspire.

Not that I have seen yet but there is a catalogue of all the paintings being prepared and is available for pre-order.
