Reference
'Full of eagerness to explore new terrain, and maybe even earn an honest dollar or two AY had come west in company with JW Beatty.. Both artists were on a tentative commission arranged by Beatty to prepare scenic studies along the construction sites of the Canadian Northern Railway... Judging by the full-brushed, richly gleaming mountain and cloud effects of the one or two oil sketches known to remain of that 'whole raft', it is a pity that AY later 'kept throwing the sketches into the furnace until there were none left'. Only the ones already given away were saved.'; thankfully this sketch of Mountains Near Jasper was conserved and lived safely in Alberta with the family of artist John Davenall Turner until now; excerpt from A.Y.'s Canada by AY Jackson and Naomi Groves Jackson, published by Clarke, Irwin and Company Limited, 1968 pg. 148; Naomi Jackson Groves and inventory #844 inscription verso

according to Dr. Groves in her letter Jackson did a considerable amount of painting and worked with Hewton in this time period. When Hewton returned to Canada, he brought with him about 50 good size paintings of Jackson’s as well as sketches for an exhibition held at the Art Museum of Montreal in 1913. None of the paintings sold and Jackson subsequently destroyed as he saw ‘... no market for the newer style of impressionistic works here in Canada.”; see another example from this time period in N.G.C., Vol.2, G-K, ed.C.Hill, pg.189
