Rations
Thanks again for all your support.
I've finished the goslings. They were such fun to paint but this painting is intended as more than just a painting depicting their cute fluffy characters...
‘They paved paradise and put up a parking lot…’
is the opening line of a Joni Mitchell song.
for these young Canada geese, along with many other animals, their habitat is being destroyed as a result.
This new family of goslings are on ‘Rations’. They have found a Dandelion growing through a crack in the parking lot but it is the only piece of vegetation in the sea of tarmac.
here are some close ups of the little goslings

Beautiful painting with a very thought provoking message.
ReplyDeleteYour painting is very evocative!
ReplyDeleteLove this Ona...wonderful composition, extraordinary detail (would have drove me nuts painting all those feathers,;))just brilliant!
ReplyDeleteThanks Vicki, JJ and Ree.
ReplyDeletePainting the feathers was actually not that bad. There were a lot of whites left so although I painted with my smallest brushes the goslings appeared quite quickly.
