Petawawa Gorges / Petawawa Gorges

The legendary Tom Thomson (1877-1917) Created Hundreds of lovely oil paintings in the wilderness of northern Ontario , Many Within Algonquin Park . A large number Were Executed as outdoor compositions - an impressive feat Given the Rough terrain, harsh climate and the difficult travel conditions that he had to overcome. The Petawawa River was one of the areas that he explored by canoe. At one point, the river winds itself through a narrow gorge with towering hills on either side. This was a scene that inspired Thomson to create several small oil paintings. My painting is a copy of Petawawa Gorges which he painted in 1916 on a 8.5 x 10.5 inch (21.5 x 26.7 cm) wood panel. (Click here for samples of his paintings including Petawawa Gorges .) While I don’t usually copy the work of other artists, it did give me a better understanding of how this painting was created. Oil painting, 12 x 10 inches (30.4 x 25 cm).
