From February to March of 1958, A.Y. Jackson was sketching in the Ottawa River area in Lanark County and at Lake Clear, at the country home of Ottawa friends. Jackson was busy with the final stages of his book, A Painter’s Country: The Autobiography of A.Y. Jackson, so he was painting in countryside relatively close to his home at Manotick, near Ottawa. He had relocated there in 1955, having built his own studio after leaving the Studio Building in Toronto. Thus the nearby Ottawa Valley and Gatineau River became part of his regular sketching trip cycles. In this fresh, atmospheric work, although winter still grips the land, a warm light strikes the crests of snow piled at the road’s edge. Roads such as this, winding through the countryside and evocatively disappearing around a hill or into a copse of trees, were one of Jackson’s favoured motifs. His palette of pastel hues in the snow is rich in this work, and his treatment of early spring light particularly fine.
