Between 1844 and 1848, the iconic Canadian painter Paul Kane spent 37 months travelling in the wilds of northwestern Ontario and ultimately along the fur-trade routes all the way to the Pacific Ocean and back again. He returned with 600 sketches, which formed the basis for the next eight years of creating oil paintings in his Toronto studio.  How do these final works compare to his field sketches? Are they accurate representations of what he saw? Is there a story to be told by looking beneath the surface layers of his painted canvases?
