Canadian Geese 1979

Neil Welliver’s 1979 woodcut print “Canadian Geese” depicts two geese swimming in a placid pond, their reflections rippling on the surface. The artist, known for his precise, stylized landscapes, utilizes bold colors and striking black lines to capture the essence of nature. The print’s rich, layered colors and the rhythmic patterns of the water and leaves create a sense of peace and tranquility. Welliver’s work often focused on the Maine landscape, where he lived and worked, and his prints are sought after for their striking beauty and powerful depiction of the natural world.
