As expected, or at least, as hoped for, Tamarack Swamp, an 8.5" x 10.5" oil sketch by Tom Thomson, went for over $1 million CAD Thursday evening at auction at Heffel in Vancouver. Canadian Press has the details. Four more Thomson sketches will be auctioned off in Toronto this week at Ritchies/Sotheby's, Monday, and Joyner Waddington, Tuesday and Wednesday.
