About This Item

Henri Matisse (1869 – 1954) was a French painter, draughtsman, sculptor, printmaker who, along with Picasso, is considered one of the major artists of the 20th century. He made his reputation as the leader of Les Fauves (French for The Wild Beasts) a group of early 20th century Modern artists whose paintings emphasized strong colour and vigorous brushwork.

“To find joy in the sky, the trees, the flowers...There are always flowers for those who want to see them.” - Matisse

The McMaster Museum of Art, Hamilton owns the complete series of 20 stenciled prints called “Jazz”, plus three other works on paper.

This was me and my families very first week of geocaching. Our neighbors, who had visited Drummond Island before, had told us about geocaching and how it is a unique way to explore different locations that we wouldn't otherwise visit. After our first day of 'treasure hunting' - my kids were hooked!

Found this Geocoin at Warner's Cove. The cache was REALLY easy to find. Warner's Cove was easy to drive to in a car and offered some spectacular views!

My oldest son was excited to find the coin - which he thought was a treasure he could keep in exchange for leaving a different geo-trinket. But we read the directions that accompanied the coin and were glad to oblige. We kept the coin with us during the rest of our stay on Drummond Island and ultimately decided to travel south with it and drop it somewhere closer to home.
