Stiff unmarked book in glossy dust jacket; about new ; 10.2 X 10.2 X 0.8 inches; 141 pages; A chance meeting with A. Y. Jackson at a lecture in Ottawa set the stage for an enduring love affair with the Group of Seven's style. Joyce Putnam remembered chasing after Jackson like a giddy school girl after a rock star. Following the lecture, she and her husband thought it would be a good idea to invite Jackson to their home in Grenville Quebec, show him some of the landscapes that surrounded their farm, and see if he might like to paint them. Months went by without hearing back from Jackson, and the Putnams had given up on him accepting their invitation - until he suddenly showed up at their door. One trip led to more as Jackson returned for a week or 10 days at a time. Soon the barn-turned-cottage saw the likes of Edwin Holgate and A. J. Casson moving in to put the Quebec landscapes onto paper. Jackson only stopped coming to Grenville after he suffered a stroke. The book chronicles the entire story.. Fine in Fine dust jacket .
