"Approaching Storm (Midway Island, Georgian Bay)" by Charles Comfort, 1963 


Embark on a visual journey with Charles Comfort's masterful 1963 painting, "Approaching Storm." This evocative piece captures the raw beauty of Midway Island in Georgian Bay, where the land meets the churning sea under the brooding promise of a storm.


In this work, Comfort's brushstrokes bring to life the rugged terrain and resilient greenery, standing defiant against the oncoming tempest. The wind-swept tree, leaning in the breeze, is a testament to nature's endurance.


The play of colors in the sky—a symphony of muted purples and blues—tells a tale of nature's impending drama. Below, the waters are a dance of blues and greens, a serene prelude to the storm's arrival.


This painting isn't just art; it's a story, a moment in time beautifully frozen, and a reminder of the earth's quiet power that Comfort has so eloquently translated onto canvas.

Experience the intensity, the calm before the storm, and the artistry of one of Canada's renowned painters.


 Come witness this striking piece and many others in our latest exhibit, celebrating the legacy of Canadian art.
