Carl Ahrens Canadian Painter(1862-1936)
I discovered for the first time this Ontario born Canadian painter of trees via: Zekes Gallery. His work is in many public collections excepting the AGO. A much sought after painting of his is "The Goose Girl." This painting by Carl Ahrens appeared at an exhibition for the Palette Club in Toronto in January of 1894. The newspaper "Saturday Night" described the painting as "most striking in its misty landscape, vivid light in the sky, with a little red-headed girl who drives her geese.

Ive never heard of him...but I liked a few of these trees. I think they are beautiful and pretty interesting they seem both misty and then suddenly solid like some of Cezanne.
Yes I can see some Cezanne in his work as well.
That's my great-grandfather. You can see a lot more of his work at www.carlahrens.com
