Maple Woods, Algoma — Fine Art

Maple Woods, Algoma shows a stand of maple trees rising on a wooded slope. The trunks cluster near the left edge, leaving the upper right open.

A.Y. Jackson painted the scene with broad strokes and a cool autumn range of red brown and muted green. The fine art print is set in a frame with a back panel, so the picture sits flat on a wall.

The paper stays matte, which keeps the warm reds from shining. A hall wall near a front door works well. From there the clustered trunks read first, and the open upper right stays quiet.
