Carved Wood Robin c. 1937

James McLellan's "Carved Wood Robin," a lifelike depiction of a robin, was created in 1937. The painting showcases McLellan's talent for capturing the intricate details and vibrant colors of a bird's anatomy. The robin is portrayed in profile, its bright red breast and black head standing out against a simple, cream background. The carving's realistic form and meticulous detail make it an excellent example of McLellan's skill as a woodcarver. The piece exemplifies McLellan's fascination with natural subjects, a theme often explored in his artwork. This depiction of a robin would have appealed to audiences interested in nature and avian art during the early 20th century.
