Assiniboine Island
oil
25.4 x 17.8 cm (10" x 7")

This island is in the Assiniboine River, which is one of two major rivers running through Winnipeg. The other is the Red River. The island is not far from Omand's Creek, which enters the Assiniboine just above the island (to the left in the painting). Do such islands have names? I would guess that they do. Does anyone care for them? The City of Winnipeg? I don't know.
