How would you depict the environment near where you live? Can you make out the water, rocks, and trees in this work by Canadian artist David Milne? Born in 1882, Milne spent much of his career living and painting in the Ontario wilderness, favouring solitude in nature. Milne’s landscapes, like this watercolour work, express the stillness and beauty he found in the natural world through explorations in line, colour, and texture.
