Featured Canadian Artist of the Day

The Chintz Sofa
Helen McNicoll 1913

Since we don't have any snow I am not feeling the great winter scenes I have found.
This seems more appropriate for a Sunday.


One of the most notable female artists in Canada, Helen McNicoll (1879–1915) achieved considerable international success during her decade-long career. Deaf from the age of two, McNicoll was esteemed for her sunny Impressionist representations of rural landscapes, intimate child subjects, and modern female figures. She played an important role in popularizing Impressionism in Canada at a time when it was still relatively unknown. Before her early death, she was elected to the Royal Society of British Artists in 1913 and the Royal Canadian Academy of Arts in 1914.

  2. Emily Carr is my favorite artist from Canada. She was ahead of her time in many ways.
