Arthur Lismer was another member of the Group of Seven. This vibrant work is A September Gale, Georgian Bay, done in 1921.
Here we have another Lawren Harris painting, Beaver Pond, from 1921, based on a pond in Algoma. Harris and A.Y. Jackson had an interest in how beavers influenced their landscape.
Pine Island, Georgian Bay is the title of this Tom Thomson work, done over the space of two years, 1914-16.
And for today we finish with one of Thomson's best known paintings, The Jack Pine, done in 1916-17, depicting a view in Algonquin Park.
I'm becoming more and more of a fan of the group of seven's work as I see more of their work.
