Jock Macdonald was a graduate of Scotland’s Edinburgh College of Art, and came to British Columbia to teach at the Vancouver School of Decorative and Applied Arts.
At the time this work was produced in 1932, Macdonald was embarking on sketching trips around BC with Frederick Varley, who was mentoring him on how to capture the Canadian landscape. This painting, a sketch for the larger canvas Yale Valley, BC, was painted by Macdonald as a gift for Beatrice Lennie’s mother, who was born in Yale. Macdonald worked out his composition with thickly applied paint, expressing the feeling of the painting as opposed to accurately depicting the area. Varley’s advice was “stop drawing, start painting,” which Macdonald took to heart, opening up his expressive painterly vocabulary. This piece shows an artist in the midst of an evolution, immediately preceding his artistic triumphs which canonized his status as one of Canada’s foremost modern painters.
