Last week I took the opportunity to visit the latest exhibition at The McMichael Canadian Art Collection. The McMichael Tree Project is a very interesting group of contemporary works celebrating the artistic, cultural and natural aspects of the tree through its symbolic wholeness – “an emblem that embodies the essence of the McMichael gallery and grounds as a revered cultural landscape”. Canadian artists, raised with the traditions of the Group of Seven and landscape painters that were to follow, carry on with their representations of this subject matter. I am no different. I have attached a few of my plein air watercolours as testament to my love of the Canadian forests and woods.
