Tom Thomson’s love of the Canadian wilderness is masterfully depicted in each of his paintings. Working as a guide and forest ranger in Algonquin Park, Thomson meticulously studied the moods and changes of the Canadian countryside, and his art conveys the strength and palpability of the landscape along with a deep, affectionate familiarity. Thomson’s bold brushstrokes and rich colors bring a grove of birch trees to life in this 1000-piece puzzle.

Tom Thomson (Canadian, 1877–1917) loved the rough country of northern Ontario. An avid outdoorsman and backcountry guide, he had a brief but brilliant art career profoundly influenced by the Canadian landscape. After a slow beginning as an artist, he found his stride and created hundreds of sketches recording his impressions of the wilderness in small oils remarkable for their vivid color and bold brushwork. Many of Thomson’s paintings were executed in only a few hours but are nonetheless emblematic of Canadian art. Thomson would not live to see the birth of the Group of Seven, yet despite his untimely death in 1917, his name became synonymous with the Group, and together their works have come to symbolize a distinctly Canadian identity.
