This oil painting shows a pair of Common Eiders (Somateria mollissima) of the subspecies S. m. dresseri, which breeds along Canada’s east coast south as far as the northeastern U.S. coastline. But the species, overall, breeds on northern coastlines on both sides of the North Atlantic, across much of the polar region, and in eastern Siberia. They are migratory, and can occur in fall, winter, or spring, along any northern seacoast, and occasionally in fresh water. A heavy eider can weigh over three kilograms but usually they weigh around two. My painting is approximately life size, shows a pair in breeding plumage, and is in oils on compressed hardboard. The size is about 24.5 by 30 inches.
