The town of Kearney in the Parry Sound District of Ontario is a gateway to the wilderness of Algonquin Park, with three access points - Tim Lake, Magnetawan Lake and Rain Lake. Kearney has the favourable positioning for any painter interested in the wilderness of the Canadian landscape and was a preferred painting spot for Beatty, as he so often depicted the environs of the town. The sensitively rendered architectural and naturalistic forms bathed in luminous light in “Old Landmark, Kearney, Ont.” perfectly convey Beatty’s love of the open countryside of southern Ontario.
