Note:

In his autobiography, Jackson writes that in 1922 “Robinson and I went to Bienville, a small village just below Quebec on the south shore. In March when the snow was melting, when roads were covered with slush and the ice was going up and down the river with the tides, it was a fascinating place to paint.”
