Much has been written about Tom Thomson and people are passionate about his artwork, his story and of course the mystery of his passing.

Phil the Forecaster will introduce is theory Creative Scene Investigation or CSI and his application of it to one of Canada's most prolific artists, Tom Thomas.

"Mathematical statistics may convince some but I want to support my proof that “Tom Thomson Was A Weatherman” on a more fundamental basis and a direct connection to the reader. This can only be achieved by delving deeper than the pigments and into the hidden clues painted in plain sight.

"Secretly, my ultimate goal is that the reader develops a new way to look at images and art – Creative Scene Investigation.

"It is not hard to do. CSI might open up another realm of appreciation and maybe unlock the key to better understand the motivation and inspiration of the artist. By doing so, it may also inspire the reader to nurture a deeper appreciation of the arts and the natural world. It could possibly inspire a desire to protect the environment for all of its inhabitants just when the globe is facing its biggest crisis since the days the earth was covered by super volcanoes."
