I watch the very long Group
of Seven canvas rolling by—114 miles long.
The Agawa Canyon train takes
us deep into the Algoma region just north of Sault Ste Marie. The canyon, nestled between the edges of the
Canadian Shield and Lake Superior hides some of the most spectacular Fall
colours.
In the 1919, Lawren Harris
and his artist buddies travelled up and down the line in a boxcar to paint the
vivid colours they saw. These rich golds
and reds are prominent features of Group of Seven paintings in galleries across
Canada and beyond.
