Georgian Bay was a recurring destination and painting place for the peripatetic A.Y. Jackson. In 1910, his cousins’ island at Portage Point was his first exposure to this unique landscape, and during a 1913 sketching trip he met art patron Dr. James MacCallum, who gave him the use of his cottage at Go Home Bay. At a critical juncture in Jackson’s career, MacCallum offered him a year’s financial support if he would move into the now famous Studio Building in Toronto. On his trips to Georgian Bay, Jackson hiked, canoed and camped through its striking landscape of wind-blasted pines, rocky islets and channels, always seeking new vistas. This is a fine Group of Seven period sketch, with fresh, bright light and a palette that contrasts warm beige and pink tones of the Canadian Shield rocks with brilliant blues of sky and water. Long, fluid brush-strokes emphasized by glimpses of bare panel show us Jackson’s assured and natural capturing of his subject. A small windblown pine, symbolic of the wildness of the Canadian hinterland, is silhouetted against the sky, an iconic motif.
