Are you interested in art and curious about the great Canadian artist, Tom Thomson, his life and his art?
During his short life he produced roughly 400 oil sketches on small wood panels and approximately 50 larger works on canvas depicting trees, skies, lakes and rivers.
Tom Thomson was found dead mysteriously in Canoe Lake in 1917 shortly before the founding of the famous Group of Seven.
