A century ago, Canada’s Group of Seven artists began to capture
the raw beauty of the Canadian landscape in their paintings. In 1977, Sue and Jim Waddington set off on their own decades-long expedition
in search of those painting locations immortalized by the Group of Seven.
Determined to locate, document, and photograph the actual landscapes that inspired and influenced the brushes of A.Y. Jackson, Franklin Carmichael, Arthur Lismer, Lawren Harris, A.J. Casson, J.E.H. MacDonald, Tom Thomson, and Frederick Varley, the Waddingtons embarked on an artistic expedition that carried them across Canada from sea to sea to sea. Now, decades later, Sue and Jim attempt a return to where their journey of discovery began.

I love this! What a very cool thing that Sue and Jim have done, searching for Group of Seven painting site locations! Something that I really love doing is seeing a photo/video of a location, and then trying to find the exact location where that photo was taken on a map. It is such a thrill when I actually do find the right spot! So I can imagine how much of a thrill it must be for Sue and Jim to find the painting site location on a map, and then actually find the exact location in real life!

@@jimwaddington6327 It must be pretty special too, to stand in a spot where these amazing artists once stood and were so moved by the beauty of the landscape that they decided to paint it. I've only been to one spot, where Tom Thomson painted the Jack Pine. Even though that location was very easy to get to, it was still a very cool experience!
