The Jack Pine was not painted in 1917 as stated in the video. The sketch was painted in 1916 on the shores of Grand Lake in Algonquin Park. The canvas would then have been painted during the winter of 1916-17 as the winter is when Thomson did all his large canvases. As well, the text is wrong in saying it was done on Little Couchon Lake in eastern Algonquin Park. Little Couchon is in the north of the park and the Jack Pine was sketched on Grand Lake in the east.
