"Tom Thomson discovered Muskoka around the same time he discovered the place for which he would become known: Algonquin Park. He was attracted by beauty – and not just the landscape but the lure of Miss Winnifred Trainor of Huntsville, who lived just down the street from us and whose sister, Marie, had married into our family.
Tom often painted around Huntsville. Winnie always maintained that perhaps his most famous painting of all, West Wind, was in fact painted after he’d walked out to the shores of Fairy Lake – not, as so often contended, in the wilds of Algonquin Park."

Dr. Ludmila has been enamoured and obsessed with the natural world since she was a child. It’s ironic she discovered her gift to depict Nature’s many and diverse beings late in life.
Behold the paintings of Dr. Ludmila, self-taught artist.
Her mission? To awaken the wonder of children, all children, so they may witness Mother Nature’s creatures before humans obliterate all life forms.
This is a legacy of love and respect for Earth’s bounty.
