Not quite a Canadian landscape, however, this folk painting can really hold its own against national treasures such as Emily Carr, Tom Thomson, and Bertrum Brooker. The artist really captured the density of the jungle and the light illuminating a clearing in the background. I love the colour choices and the dark branch moving through the picture on the diagonal (it makes the painting work). From the Wardens collection, this piece is currently on display in the Artist in Residence studio at the AGO.
