Lumbermen Among The Pines

 Today I start with this Munnings painting, Lumbermen Among The Pines.


An April Day In The Forest is the title of this one.


A Team Log-Skidding In The Forest (Jura) is the title of this moody painting capturing men and horses at work.


Here we see Four-Horse Team In The Forest.


A Black Team In The Jammer features a device called a jammer, meant to ease some of the workload.


This is The Grey Team.


Log Loading is seen here.

  2. These painters were the photographers of their time ! Without them we wouldn't know how they lived, worked and dressed.

  3. Interesting. My grandfathers ran horse and bullock teams to get timber from the forests like this.

  14. Painters like these were the photographers of their time and it is such a good thing paintings are saved for us to see.
