Painting: "And I thought this was a sissy game". Frederick Banting


A dynamic article on Sir Frederick Banting, Doctor and Artist.

Sir Frederick Banting, on a plein air painting expedition with  AY Jackson:

"During an outing to St Jean-Port-Joli on the south shore of the St. Lawrence, the weather was cold, the wind was ripping and Banting bundled up but working steadily admitted, "And I thought this was a sissy game.""
