Tom Thomson's Last Spring

Back in Toronto last night ...



I've been following this on twitter recently: Tom Thomson's Last Spring is a blog/journal witnessing the last days of the Canadian legendary painter Tom Thomson leading to his mysterious death in the spring of 1917 as would have been documented by the painter himself.  The accompanying tweets include countless images of Thomson's paintings alongside "live tweets" from 99 years ago.
