Three's a crowd
Watercolor - 13" x 23"
I love Canada Geese. Many see these birds as pests, but I love their distinctive appearance and hearing their honks and wing beats as a flock passes low overhead. When I was in high school,my family was fortunate to be the home for two of these birds who had imprinted on people. It was an amazing experience, similar to the movie Fly Away Home (without the whole migrating part!!)
