Rideau River. Near Carleton Lodge, 1976, oil on canvas, 24 x 30 inches, signed lower left, titled, dated and signed verso. Ralph Wallace Burton was an Ottawa Valley artist who painted with A.Y. Jackson from the Group of Seven. His work is now housed at the City of Ottawa archives, and private collections. Burton's style celebrates the rough beauty of Canadian landscapes and the tenacity of man-made structures set in rugged natural and urban environments, particularly in the Ottawa Valley region.
