The Group of Seven + 2 (posted for: St. Michael )

In the early 20th Century, a group of like-minded Canadian painters

formed what they called: "The Group of Seven."

Ultimately there were 9 of them, but they never bothered to change the name.

They painted Nature, as it presented itself to them, and, being formed by

the country of the bush-land of  Ontario they developed a style of their own,

quite different from the European school.

Here now are a few samples of the work of some of them.
