Canadian flag to the wind virgin coasts to explore canoes loaded with easels paintbrushes and pigments from sea to shining sea rock islands scattered nature self regenerates untouched and pristine through eyes of an artist and lens of adventure jack pines stand proud their might and their grace moved and inspired in national colors awe splashed to canvas immortalized pride pure wilderness recorded in stillness fresh mirror of canadiana stylized called our own the timely birth of a west wind movement birthe the distinct national art of the iconic Group of Seven posted on August 3, 2020

The "group of seven" - I am not familiar with them, but I see the artist in you when you pen something like this, Line.

Wonderful tribute to the iconic and talented artists. Canada has much to be proud of in their legacy. Lawren Harris is my favorite. Beautifully done, Line ~ John
