Lot description - from the online catalogue*
Harvey McInnes was born in 1904 in Cobden, Ontario, but moved to Saskatchewan in 1910. He grew up farming with his family near Zealandia and continued to farm throughout his life. McInnes had been drawing since he was a child, but it wasn't until 1965, after his sister gave him a paint-by-number kit, that he began to pursue art-making more seriously. He never took art classes, but taught himself through his own experiments with oils, pastels, and coloured pencils.
Most realised prices include the Buyer's Premium of 18-25%, but not the HST/GST Tax.
