BIBLIOGRAPHIE
A.Y. Jackson, A Painter’s Country: The Autobiography of A.Y. Jackson, 1958, page 74

A.Y. Jackson wrote, “Go Home Bay and the outer islands are filled for me with happy memories of good friends and of efforts…that I made to portray its ever-varying moods.” Galbraith Island on Lake Huron lies due west of West Wind Island, where James MacCallum owned a cottage and from where Jackson often started out on sketching trips in his canoe. The inner islands, West Wind itself, Pine Island and others, are so called as they are inside the protected area of Go Home Bay, while the outer islands - including Galbraith - are not. Jackson was a proficient canoeist and loved to paddle from one island to the next, in search of a place where he "could make a very snug camp, sheltered from the wind.” He traveled light, noting that in “a country of many portages, it is killing work carrying unnecessary weight.” But precious space in his canoe was always reserved for his sketch box, which he opened on the shores of the numerous islands of the region, capturing their wild, windswept beauty.
