Vancouver painter Georgia Youngs says the Group of Seven’s works have plenty to say about living through a pandemic

Painter Georgia Youngs, seen here in her home studio in Vancouver on Oct. 2, 2020, found solace in recreating the Group of Seven paintings at home in the early days of the pandemic.Vancouver artist Georgia Youngs was lying in her bed, panicking. It was early in March, and the COVID-19 crisis had shut down the classes she taught to more than 80 students.

Ms. Youngs sits in her studio every afternoon for about three to four hours and immerses herself in these artists' world, studying their work brushstroke by brushstroke, colour by colour. She counted the number of clouds in Arthur Lismer’sshe was replicating it accurately and the number of leaves and branches on a tree in Franklin Carmichael’s“I was able to escape into this bubble … nothing touched me.

The majority of Ms. Youngs' adult students are single older women who are in their 60s and 70s. For many, their 2.5-hour painting class was the focus of their week, but the pandemic stole that from them.When Ms. Youngs began documenting the process of hand copying the Group’s artwork on social media, her students began to feel connected again.“It just was very joyful to see her work on that,” said Ms. Rossoff, who has been learning painting with Ms. Youngs for about four years.
