Description At last! The long awaited winter has ended and I can finally share the full version of the painting I finished last fall. -_-

Geese, for me, are the harbringers of spring. I liked the idea of the power from their wing beats melting the snow away.

This year my first sighting was one lonely Canada goose standing out on a field of snow. I think he showed up a little early!

Unfortunately, the first day of spring has been greeted with a healthy helping of snow. I'm going to have to shovel the driveway sometime today.

Thanks so much! I love when they fly right overhead and you can hear the power in those wingbeats. I imagined them waving away winter with that power.
