TOM THOMPSON SHACK, KLEINBURG, ONTARIO

 

I took this picture a few years ago while visiting the McMichael Art Gallery in Kleinburg. It is the shack where Tom Thomson used to live in Toronto from 1925 till his death in 1917. Of course the shack has been photographed numerous times but I concentrated on the light and the complex patterns of vertical lines and the rectangular shapes of the doors and windows.

HISTORY

 

This morning I am reading in my morning paper about the big COP26 get together in Glasgow, I came across my picture of the old Thorn farm here in North Bay. The farm is gone now. All that remains is a picture reminding me what it looked like. 

FALL, LAKE NIPISSING, ONTARIO

 

An image of strong patterns, shapes and textures. It is a very elementary picture reflecting a strong dramatic view of Lake Nipissing.
