I spent half an afternoon in a hospital parking lot in Markham watching this Canada goose. Cars coming and going, people everywhere, and he didn't care. Just stood there being a goose.
I'm a Montreal-based artist who paints animals digitally - focusing on capturing their actual personality rather than making them look majestic. This goose wasn't majestic. He was stubborn and unbothered and perfect.
Part of a new bird series I just released, all based on real birds I've encountered. I paint these during weekly livestreams where people watch me work and we talk about whatever.
