George McLean for the Order of Ontario

George McLean is a great Ontario artist: a living legend. He is self-sufficient, successful and has an international reputation.  

For almost 60 years, he has chronicled life in the eastern woodland forests of Ontario with astonishing skill and unwavering conviction.  

Through acute observation and excellence of technique, George McLean has created an enduring legacy of essential truths about nature.  

We, the undersigned people of Ontario, recognize George McLean’s extraordinary accomplishment and request that he be invested into the Order of Ontario, in 2017.
