McMichaels Gallery

It is almost impossible for me to come to Toronto without driving the few miles to get to Kleinburg and the McMichaels Art Gallery.
It features almost exclusively Canadian Artists, beginning with "The Group of Seven", but also showing
modern Canadian artists particularly, but not exclusively Native Canadians.
At the moment there is an exhibit of a new "Group of Seven" consisting of Native Professional Artists
and are they ever beautiful.
Unfortunately, photography is not allowed in the New Group of Seven, and so I have to once more get some shots in a clandestine manner. ( I am almost ashamed... I said 'almost' )
For now we will have to be satisfied with the Original Group of Seven and Tom Thompson.

Maybe there is a bit too much of the Group of Seven 
for the uninitiated ?
Well then, hurry up ! Become initiated !
