Should maybe add that personally I'm pretty sure that Thomson's Crossing is named after this guy.

Could be that it was the original intention however in the game there is a tombstone with Ryan Thompson at that location:

And yet, the town's called Thomson's Crossing, sans P... just like the painter.

Nice observation, you are sharp!!

Found a new one today: 

"Pine Cleft Rocks" - 1915. 

I think I should make a mission to wander the entire game and see if this one is in there.

While I'm at it, for those that Twit, here's the feed; it's worth a follow as it posts art every day. https://twitter.com/TTLastSpring

Here's another beaut of the sky in Algonquin: 

"Sunset" 1915. You can find this one in the National Gallery of Canada, near the Byward Market in Ottawa.

I urge anyone who is ever in the area to visit there. Their Group of Seven collection/display is really something else to see in person. I haven't been there in ages, unfortunately (wrong side of the country now)

 

Anyway, here's a personal favourite of mine:

Arthur Lismer, _The Guide's Home, Algonquin, 1914_

Beautiful!

So glad I found this discussion! Thank you all for sharing.

Another one for all of you!

Algonquin Park, 1914.

kinda looks like pleasant valley farm in the late fall with the first dusting of snow...

Back to my necro ways I guess, it's been eight whole months... /titanic.

Here's a couple new (to me) that I saw this morning. I still hope that I get to live long enough to see TLD 2: The TLDening, with seasoning. Here's some look:

 

"Cliff by the Lake" 1912

and 

"Autumn Foliage" 1916

Here's another one.

"Moose at Twilight", Algonquin Park, 1912

Beautiful. That looks like something Will could plausibly draw with charcoal in his spare time… 

Might make a good wishlist suggestion if it hasn’t been done already…

BTW that last pic is an actual commissioned painting of me arriving at Foreman's Retreat.

These are awsome!  Keep going, 'necro man!'

My favorite is In The Woods (on the first page) because it literally looks like my backyard back home in New England.  I swear, I have been there, the artist just forgot to put my footprints in the snow.

  Also, @stratvox, who is the artist of your profile picture?  It looks awfully similar to some of these other artists work... 😁
