Notes:
One of Donald's finest paintings of the East.
Autumn colours abound in this beautiful Canadian
Shield scene.
Donald
M. Flather was an associate of The Group of
Seven, and in particular, a close associate
of Lawren Harris. Dr. Donald M. Flather and
Lawren Harris exhibited together many times
at the Juried Annual B.C. Artists Exhibitions
at the Vancouver Art Gallery during the 1940s
and 50s. The two men were also founding members
of the Canadian Federation of Artists. Dr. Donald
Flather (doctorate in Education) even acted
as Treasurer for the Federation, as he was always
well respected and was dedicated to having a
well organized Artist's Association. Dr. Flather
painted vigorously during his life (1903-1990),
but did not seek the fame or attention that
many of the Group sought. He was extremely dedicated
to his painting, and travelled Canada extensively
to try and capture its beauty on canvas.
