Spring 1961 found the peripatetic A.Y. Jackson starting his round of painting trips, first sketching in the Ottawa Valley region, then moving on to Labrador and to Schefferville in Quebec. Jackson likely painted this work near Sebastopol in Perth County on his way to Georgian Bay, his destination for the summer. The remains of winter snow still linger in the shady hollows under the trees, its bright white lighting up the work. Strong blue shadows near the patches of snow provide a luscious colour accent. Jackson’s characteristic fluid brush-strokes express rhythm in the roll of bare earth and animation in the evergreens that almost appear to dance, reminiscent of Emily Carr’s energized trees. Flashes of cobalt blue emerge from his thickly painted brush-strokes in the trees, giving depth and definition. This strong landscape showcases Jackson’s adept command of colour, composition and of paint itself, as well as his consummate ability to capture the unique atmosphere of any landscape that drew his attention.
