The Canadian painter, watercolourist and draughtsman Goodridge Roberts is best known for his landscapes of Quebec hills and fields. Using rapid brushstrokes and intense, warm colours, Roberts created a sense of vast space, always paying close attention to the relationship of forms. The artist had spent his summers painting in a number of different regions of Eastern Canada, including Georgian Bay, Outaouais, the Eastern Townships, Charlevoix and the Laurentians.
