Paint the scene as you see it. It will never repeat itself

Trying to get my affairs together before going up North. The Shack has become a constant stream of visitors, much to my dislike.

1916 Jack Pine #tt1916

In the fall of 1914, Jackson and I camped below Tea Lake. That is where he made the sketch for Red Maple.

Jackson knows the line 'where sanity ends and the kingdom of freaks begins.'

In June 1916 Harris was posted to the 10th Regiment Royal Grenadiers

I would produce more from uninspired material while my chums were of searching for inspired material.

About 50 of my sketches from 1916. You get used to the colours after awhile.

1916 Sombre Day #tt1916

In 1916 I worked with Ed Godin, following the Booth lumber drives down the Ottawa

I bought my canoe in 1915; it disappeared in 1917.

Here's the sketch I used for the canvas

Jackson was such a talker. I was such a good audience for him

Jimmy MacDonald had the messiest desk at Grip. If you lost something you looked for under his mess.

1914 Thunderhead #tt1914

My profession is painting, not fighting.

Looking at the West Wind for one final time. I'll leave it on the easel so it's easy for Dr. MacCallum to find. http://t.co/wpapnWyXX5

Spring of 1917 officially begins at 11:38pm

We showed Harris to take the fussy elements out of his works.

No chance to go to Owen Sound now. Many things to pack and a few girls to see.
