| biography:
| Painter, born in Claremont, Ontario, SE Canada. He worked as an engraver and designer-illustrator before turning to art in 1906. He spent a great deal of time working in Algonquin Park, Ontario, producing many sketches and some larger canvases, such as ‘The West Wind’ (1917, Toronto). He was found drowned near Wapomeo I, leaving a mystery about the manner of his death which to some extent has obscured his artistic accomplishments. |
