Canada Goose in Flight Peter Darro Year: 1972 Size: 24 in. x 36 in. Oil on canvas Lifting out of the placid water with a splash, the Canadian goose flaps its large wings and uses its webbed feet to propel itself above the lake. This realistic, lifelike representation of the bird is a result of Peter Darro's extensive experience in the fields and woodlands of the American Midwest watching birds in their natural habitats.
