This painting by A.Y. Jackson was completed circa 1919, prior to the official formation of the Group of Seven, of which he was a founding member. The painting shows the influence in subject and technique of his friend and fellow painter Tom Thomson’s work such as Open Water, Joe Creek c. 1914 and In Algonquin Park 1914, along with Jackson's own tradition of emphasizing light and shadow to highlight motion or atmosphere.

Jackson’s bold use of colour, evident here in Shadows, influenced Tom Thomson and the members of the Group of Seven. Lawren Harris recalled of Tom Thompson and Jackson: “Jackson’s sparkling, vibrant, rich colour opened his eyes, as it did to the eyes of the rest of us, and Tom saw the Canadian landscape as he had never seen it before”.
