We're going to lie on this Georgian Bay beach for a week or so.
"Hailed as a founding father of Canadian art, Paul Kane (1810-1871) made two journeys across Canada determined to paint, in his words, "a series of pictures illustrative of the North American Indians and scenery." As one of the first Canadian artists to portray the northwest, Kane chronicled Native cultures and historical events providing pre-photographic records of fur-trading posts, travel by canoe and dog team, Native customs, and one of the last great buffalo hunts."
