Northern River

Paper on canvas.

16x16x1"

The Group Seven spent many hours and years painting the landscape in Algonquin Park and beyond. Tom Thompson’s work Northern River was an inspiration for this work of my lakefront here in Muskoka. The dark colours of the forest are backlit by a beautiful fall day, the blue sky and a shimmering lake. Recycled magazines with their bold colours and graphic qualities add interest to the painting beyond the colours
