Description
A worn fishing boat and boathouse are reflected in the still waters of Lake Ontario in this charming scene of old Toronto by Bernice Martin. The unframed image was painted in 1940.  Born in Shelburne, Ontario, Bernice Fenwick Martin (1902-1999) studied at the Ontario College of Art with noted Canadian artists J.W. Beatty and Franklin Carmichael. Starting in 1941, Martin painted and studied with Peter Clapham Sheppard until his death in 1965. Working in oil, watercolour and woodcut, Martin focuses on scenes of Toronto harbour and Northern Ontario especially the Muskokas, Haliburton, and Algonquin Park. Martin exhibited at the Royal Canadian Academy, the T. Eaton Co.'s College Street Fine Art Gallery, Casa Loma, the Quebec Museum of Fine Arts, the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, and the Art Gallery of Ontario. Her paintings may be found in many collections, including the National Gallery of Canada.
