Tom Thomson's paintings are phenomenal, ive always been interested in the coloring and application of paint. picked up from the library after recognizing the name from my countless visits to the AGO and was astounded to see how many beautiful works he has in other galleries. Will have to make it out to the national gallery of canada and the gallery of hamilton to see more of his work in person!
