Supporting evidence Forgery is genuine/ how you came into ownership
Emily Carr camped (in her trailer the Elephant!) on - or near - what is now my property on Metchosin Road overlooking the gravel pit which she painted ("Above the Gravel Pit", 1937). She often painted on the bits of logs and lumber that was milled from the trees that were felled on that land. This was found in a pile of old discarded wood bits in a ramshackle shed that I was helping a neighbour clean out.
