Details
A grey and white goose comes straight at the camera across bare dirt, head down, orange bill lowered, one orange foot lifted mid stride, with a second goose out of focus behind it.
Printed and shipped from the US for US orders, and normally from Canada for Canadian orders and from Latvia, inside the EU, for European orders, so buyers in Canada and the EU should not pay customs fees.
Anyone who has walked through a farmyard knows this exact moment. Taken low and close, so the bird fills the frame and you get the whole character of it, the bill with its pink tip, the loose grey feathers over the back, the big flat feet. It is a picture that makes people smile, which is why it belongs somewhere you walk past every day.
About the goose: farmyard geese like this one come from the wild greylag, and the grey and white saddle pattern is something breeding put there, not something you find on the marshes. They have been kept as much for noise as for meat. A goose sees well, misses nothing, and shouts at anything that comes near, which is why Roman farms and even the Capitol in Rome kept them as watch birds long before anyone kept a guard dog.
Printed in landscape format, it suits a kitchen, dining room, hallway, utility room or country cottage, and it makes a funny, warm gift for smallholders, farmers and anyone who grew up around poultry.

This canvas is made especially for you when you order, which is why it takes a little longer to arrive. Making to order instead of in bulk helps reduce overproduction, so thank you for choosing thoughtfully.
