Artist's Description
An Algoma Sunset in the rugget granite region north of Lake Superior, in a style of Canada's Group of Seven. When I was barely a teen, I had the fortune of taking art lessons from a local teacher who knew some of Canada's famous Group Of Seven. This let to a couple of occasions when A.Y.Jackson (one of the group's founders) would show up and give us advice and pointers.

Wonderful Work Michael !!! I, with my impatient nature will some times use acrylic as a rough base and then top coat with oil for the blending values.... I as well was honoured to meet A.J. Casson of the group a few times and admire all their works ... you have joined the ranks for me.... V/F
