Are We There Yet? 6x6, Acrylic



This gaggle of Canada Geese was crossing the road down the street from me. It was a family - 3 youngsters and 2 adults (well, that's what it looked like), and reminded me of my own family and trips we'd taken. There was always the question, "Are We There Yet?" and my husband and I would look at each other like the 2 geese on the right. With a *sigh*.
Also, yes, these are "Canada Geese", as opposed to "Canadian Geese" as you sometimes hear... they don't have Canadian passports....
My husband's favorite part of this painting is the guardrail. Yup, the guardrail....


If you're down in the Duxbury way this weekend, I have 2 paintings in the Midsummer Members' Show at the Duxbury Art Association! I also have 20 little paintings at goooood prices in the members' studio sale!

  1. What a great little painting, Kelley. Reminds me of the wild turkeys in my yard last week,3 Adults and 12 little ones.
    I didn't look carefully at the time for drop off at Dux. and arrived too late. Good luck with the show.

  10. these Canada geese are great- important.
    Because they stop us from where we are heading, and pause us in the moment.
    Lots of folks get mad at them, but I love em- they are sweet, even though they poop on everything!
    well, who doesn't poop?
