Description

Vintage c.1910s Ada Greenland Canadian School Oil Painting - Orillia Lake Simcoe Landscape - Carmichael Connection

Discover a captivating piece of Canadian art history with this vintage circa 1910s oil painting by Ada Greenland. This beautifully executed landscape showcases Greenland's sophisticated understanding of light, colour, and perspective, capturing the serene beauty of the Ontario lakeside, likely inspired by the Orillia / Lake Simcoe region she called home.

Painted in oil on canvas, which has been professionally laid onto card/board for stability, this work offers a rare glimpse into early 20th-century Canadian impressionism.

About the Artist: While detailed information about Ada Greenland is scarce, her significance in Orillia's art scene is notable. She studied under The Rev. Canon Richard Greene – the same mentor as the famed Group of Seven member Franklin Carmichael. Like Carmichael, Greenland pursued further studies in Toronto before returning to Orillia to establish the town's very first art studio. ¹ Owning this piece connects you to an important local artist with links to the broader Canadian art movement.
