Bic, Quebec was painted in the spring of 1927, during Dr. Frederick Banting’s and A.Y. Jackson’s first sketching trip together along the south shore of the St. Lawrence River. In his autobiography, Jackson recounts that “this was Banting’s first experience of painting out of doors in wintertime. It was March, but there was no sign of spring, and we were working in very exposed country . . . Banting persisted, though it was an ordeal for him. I found him one day crouched behind a rail fence, the snow drifting into his sketch box and his hands so cold he could hardly work . . . Later, we went to Bic . . . Here the spring found us and we painted the melting snows.”
