but I still like it.)
One of my Canadian art heroes is Tom Thomson. I found a former blog
tonight that talks about him, and I thought I'd share what I wrote:
"When I visit the Art Gallery of Ontario, I never miss sitting in
the room full of Tom Thomson's work. He was a fabulous landscape
artist. Sadly he died at 39 years old by drowning. There is still all
sorts of speculation about how he -- a very accomplished
canoeist -- drowned, and hints of murder, or suicide, but nothing
has ever been proven. He died in 1917.
What I didn't realize before, having adored his work since I
first found out about him, was that he was very handsome.
And today in my morning journal, I drew his portrait. I
liked it so much that I couldn't write on that page."
Happy weekend. If you don't know Tom Thomson's work --
check it out.
Have a loving your life day.
