'Spring Goose' by Claire Beadon Carnell


8 X 10 Oil on Archival Panel

Early this Spring, I went out with some fellow artists to capture some of that spring blush on the landscape - those beautiful colors that appear before everything starts to turn green. We stopped at this shallow springs, and a goose hopped into the water from the edge of the bank where he had been restinig and started to swim toward us. Made for some great photos! I am sure he thought we had some food for him...

Claire, this is a great painting. I love the way you handled the water. I can feel the ripples and the Canada goose just belongs there.

Great painting, Claire! I'm agree with Pat, water looks beautiful, but I still like your bird better! :-)

The beautiful essence of Spring! What texture and curve in this elegant goose - and those reflections are something to marvel!
