Canada Geese Rising Over Bras d'Or


I love drawing and painting our world famous Canada Geese. We simply call them 'Canadas'. People often ask what I like doing best, WC or Oil. Truthfully, I love them both and shift from one to the other often with a hiatus of a few months between, but 'always and forever' painting one or the other. Also, a drawing or two always precedes the actual laying on of paint. Drawing and composition are the most important of all. Folks also ask which I prefer, brushes or palette knives. They never seem to mention 'fingers' which I seem to use freely regardless of what other tools I use! Truth is, I use them all - all the time. I just can't seem to keep my fingers out of the paint! I'm certain that stems a way back in the history of all of us!
