Petite Rivière is a small settlement on the south shore of Nova Scotia. Samuel de Champlain is said to have named it after landing there in 1604. In 1922, J.E.H. MacDonald was teaching at the Ontario College of Art and took a summer trip to Petite Rivière to stay with his old friend, artist Lewis Smith. Both had worked at Grip Ltd., that great meeting place of artists that included many of the future members of the Group of Seven. The trip proved to be a successful one as he produced, in a relatively short time, an impressive body of work including shorescapes, open vistas and tranquil settings such as this one overlooking the river. MacDonald depicted the scene with typical gusto - he excelled at stormy skies, and in this sketch he included the darkest of clouds. Fortunately, we are in the month of July, and the sun is doing its best to pick out the highlights of the landscape: the church spire, the whites of the scattered houses and the broad, verdant green in the foreground.
