Ideal 2D?


This is one of my ideals.  It is simple, flowing, evocative, and of course, has a story.  When I first moved to Vermont, I missed the geese and wide open spaces as well as the strong native presence in Wisconsin.  I found this print in a second hand warehouse for furniture and household goods. The artist, Benjamin Chee Chee was a Woodland native in Canada who achieved success and then committed suicide.  In his simplicity, he evokes for me the spirit of a goose and the yearning for what is missed.
