Canada Goose

Original printmaking allows artists freedom and fluidity as well as incredible tonal and textural range - maybe that is why I happened to think of the work of the old masters when I made this original print. I recalled in particular the etchings of Rembrandt, which are so evocative of mood and atmosphere.

This Canada goose is just a simple little piece that I made in a tranquil moment. Against the dark background, I used light sparingly to illuminate the essential forms of the goose and the grasses. Perhaps, in its small way, this original print is an homage to Rembrandt's rich and luminous work.
