Canadian Oil Painting on Board – “Landscape” – John Keast (1922-2011).

A very pretty and colourful oil painting on board – signed John Keast (born 1922 – died 2011).  The painting is a colourful landscape – the side of a hill mixed with green moss/grass and rock (Canadian shield) with a lone orange coloured ‘bush’.

Beautiful colours of greens, purples and orange – framed inside a painted off grey wood frame and matted with a white linen.  The framing is recent and expensive.

Keast, who taught art at Sault College and Central Algoma Secondary School, created works that reflected the rugged Northern Ontario landscape, from Lake Superior to the La Cloche mountain country of Killarney Wilderness Park, subjects also made famous by the Group of Seven.

Painting measures:  11 1/2 inches high  x 15 1/2 inches wide
with frame measures:  19 inches high x 23 inches wide
