North American Robin with Apple Blossom — Giclée on Paper Print Size:15" x 20" neck craning forward over aA Robin in full song on an apple blossom branch the orange red breast vivid against the white and pink of the flowers, the bill open, the eye bright. This is a painting about the moment when Canadian spring fully arrives: when the Robins are singing and the apple trees are in bloom simultaneously, that particular week in May that feels like the year's most optimistic promise. The apple blossoms are botanically precise, the Robin anatomically exact.
