Jack Lorimer Gray - Original Oil on Canvas Board, titled "Quebec City Harbour", signed lower left - Image Size - 14" x 10", Overall Size - 21" x 25"
Jack L. Gray, born on April 28, 1927, in Halifax, Nova Scotia. He was a talented artist known for his love of drawing, particularly maritime scenes. He grew up in the South End of Halifax and attended Tower Road School. His artistic talent was recognized and encouraged by Sir Edmund Wyly Grier.
In 1948, Gray briefly traveled to Montreal to take a life drawing course from Arthur Lismer at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts. Despite initial disinterest in classroom sessions, Gray engaged in private discussions with Lismer, which proved beneficial to his development as an artist.
During these years, Gray also spent time at sea with Lunenburg's dory-fishing schooner fleet, capturing maritime scenes in sketches, notes, and photographs.
