"GOOS-TAV #2" 5" X 7" Oil on panel SOLD

                                                                 
Woodland Lake in Pinetop, AZ is a small, family-friendly lake with lots of ducks, geese, ospreys, etc. This goose was one of a pair who were inseparable. They'd walk together, swim together and sleep right next to each other. And when we would bring out the bread pieces both would make their way right over.

    This is beautifully painted, Carol. Also love Reflections Gone Wild and others, and, of course, the DPW challenge. Thanks so much for visiting my blog and for your very thoughtful comment.

    Is it a Canadian goose by chance? Identifying birds isn't my strong suit!

    He is lovely though. I enjoyed looking to see all of the different colors that you included on his head and neck:)

    I looked him up, Libby, and because of the knob above his beak he's what's known as a Chinese Goose. I didn't know that before, so thank you for asking that question and for the comments.
