I start today with two paintings by F.H. Varley of the Group of Seven, both portraits of the same woman, with the same name, painted a year apart. Vera is the mutual title, with the work from 1929 at left and the follow up from 1930 at right.
Girl With Plant is a 1933 painting by Will Ogilvie.
Two paintings hang together. Self Portrait is a circa 1929 painting by Lilias Torrance Newton.
This is her 1942 painting Portrait Of Frances Loring.
Gordon Davies painted Gesture and Elizabeth in 1936, depicting a fellow artist.
This is Gesture, by Elizabeth Wyn Wood.
Adrien Hebert painted Montreal Harbour, circa 1927-30.
We close out today with Tadoussac, a 1935 painting by Charles Comfort. A few years after painting this, Comfort was a commissioned war artist, embedded with Canadian forces fighting to free Europe.
