Thomson's Trek

Thomson’s Trek

As a woodsman, guide, and artist, Tom Thomson traversed northern lakes and rivers in his grey canoe, in a quest for a unique interpretation of the Canadian landscape.  Morning cloud, moonlit nights, backwaters, drowned land, and forest trails, all became the focus of his brush.  Guided by the west wind, he captured snow in the woods, Pine Island, the Tea Lake Dam, Canoe Lake, and the Jack Pine.  We owe all of these iconic images to the inherent talent and unwavering perseverance of Thomson’s trek.
