Little Island

Little Island by A.J. Casson was painted in Combermere (near Barry’s Bay) on the Madawaska River where the river widens. “I got that one evening when we had a clinker of a thunderstorm, then the sun came out and I got the sketch”.

“I never liked that business of just going out and painting a summer landscape – I liked something going on – like a storm or fog”.
