Observations: In this painting, Morrisseau introduces the children to nature - the fish upon which they sit; the loons, which represent the bond of family; the bears, conveying masculine strength, and the overall unity of humanity in nature, represented by power lines and the split circle of yin and yang. Complex, detailed, humourous, and retaining a child-like delight in living and the world, this is Morrisseau at the peak of his powers.
