In 1958, A.J. Casson retired from his position as vice-president of the commercial art firm Sampson Matthews Limited, leaving him free to devote all his time to painting. Casson had already extensively explored Ontario, and now he could extend his sketching trips. His keen eye for design, honed over a lifetime, can clearly be seen in the composition of this fine large painting. Patterning in the snow is strong, as the warmer temperatures at the approach of spring accelerate the process of snowmelt, making visible patches and lines of earth. This patterning is echoed in the snow on the roof of the house, which softly thaws into patches that repeat the shapes of exposed earth on the hillside. Casson’s love of moody skies manifests here—amid the fractured planes of stormy clouds a brilliant glow of light illuminates the hill below, to great dramatic effect.

The location depicted in this painting is particularly meaningful, as the McMichael Canadian Art Collection, with its focus on works by the Group of Seven, is in Kleinburg, and Casson was friends with founders Dr. Robert and Signe McMichael.
