Lot description - from the online catalogue*


Wesley Dennis was born in 1899 in Wyoming, Ontario, but grew up in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan. He became interested in art at a young age, copying reproductions of Group of Seven paintings. By fifteen, Dennis was experienced in drawing and watercolours and newly interested in oils. After his schooling, he farmed in rural Saskatchewan, primarily in the Archive area, beginning in 1919. In 1931, he married Eva House, who also became an accomplished painter.
