Bird Songs

Urban soundscapes assault our senses with regularity, eventually dissolving into routine and indifference. Piercing sirens, blaring horns, grating jack hammers, and jets streaking overhead weave a fabric that threatens to smoother us under a synthetic blanket of toxicity. Take pause and seek out a land unspoiled where a gentle breeze is the conductor, and oscillating leaves combine with gently rippling waters to become the symphony. Listen closely as the ornithology ensemble lend their voices from perches on high. Absorb the staccato rhythms of a woodpecker’s search as a raven’s cry blends with the haunting melodies of loons echoed across tranquil waters. Experience the subsiding tension as you truly release the sounds not entwined with your spirit. Close your eyes and breathe in these moments of forest and feather while your soul rejuvenates in this serene landscape of bird songs.

    Approaching Algonquin

    When approaching Algonquin, the quiet hush of nature begins its descent upon me. I feel the ever increasing distance from stress, noise, pavement and concrete. The layers of life’s hectic pace are replaced by nature’s serenity as I approach Algonquin.

    Reflections of Thomson

    A young Tom Thomson living in urban surrounds, sought solitude in the majestic bluffs of Scarborough. Venturing further east he explored the calm of a lake named Scugog, where inspiration lead to the creation of Near Lake Scugog and Evening Lake Scugog. His gaze is distant, while his four legged companion’s is inward. Was this a sign of his bold interpretations of future northern landscapes? Look inward at your accomplishments and interactions that have proven to be a positive influence on the world, but also look ahead with determination and creativity for a future rich with a canvas filled with vibrant brush strokes. Could these be the lessons of Reflections of Thomson?

    Jack Pine Visions

    More than one hundred years have passed over Achray landscapes. A guardian of the land, entrusted to protect the pillars of the forest, ventured along Grand Lake shores in search of inspiration. Across the waters of Carcajou Bay, violet horizons roll in serpentine rhythms, while foreground branches bow in sunbathed splendor. He ensured his dependent lived forever in his oil sketch, as rocky shores, pristine waters, and windswept Pines were the culmination of Thomson’s Jack Pine visions.
