Tom Thomson
Tom Thomson (1877–1917) was a Canadian painter who is
associated with the group of Canadian artists called the Group of Seven,
although that group wasn’t officially formed until after Thomson’s death.
Nevertheless, he had a great influence on them. These artists concentrated on
painting the landscape and wilderness of Canada in a post-Impressionist style,
using bold colors and brushstrokes and thick applications of paint.
Thomson
drowned at age thirty-nine under somewhat mysterious circumstances. As he had only begun painting seriously in
1912, his creative period was short, yet he left behind hundreds of small
sketches and full paintings and a long-lasting legacy.

Pine Island would be my favorite choice of these. They remind me of the few oil paintings I have that my mother did, so of course, they give me a nice feeling. Thanks for "T"!
