PROVENANCE
Acquired directly from the Artist by the present Private Collector, Ontario

This beautifully composed canvas by A.Y. Jackson was likely painted in the Gatineau Hills, just north of Ottawa. Dominating the scene - and yet quite transparent - is the screen of trees through which we see the cluster of small, colourful houses below. Like the artist, we feel like observers, hidden from view. Jackson was often seen making his way to an otherwise inaccessible spot on his trusty snowshoes, and probably used this means to gain access to this vantage point. The sun is low, the branches are bare, and yet there is a warmth in the air that has made the heavy snow slip down the shingled roofs. The magic of the moment has been captured by Jackson in his characteristic mirrored treatment of the sky and snow. The pale blue and subtle pink of the sky is balanced perfectly below by the undulating waves of mauve and pink tracing the natural lines of the fallen snow.
