Artist's Description
The Common Loon (Gavia immer) is known as the Great Northern Diver in other parts of the English-speaking world. It nests in every province and territory of Canada; we have named our one dollar coin, which has an image of the loon on one side, the “loonie”, an affectionate if not altogether complimentary term since the strangely resonating often mournful, often maniacal calls of the loon have given rise to the expression “as crazy as a loon.” They are emblematic of the wild places of Canada and the northern U.S. and often one hears their calls in the backgrounds of movies and TV dramas to indicate “wilderness” or loneliness, sometimes in places where no loon would ever appear, such as distant jungles or deserts. This painting is in acrylics on compressed hardboard, is nearly life-size and is 24 X 30 inches in size. The background shows one of my favourite plants to sketch and paint, the Fragrant Waterlily (Nymphaea odorata). SOLD.
