Common Loon

Mother Loon
This miniature sculpture shows a common sight on Northern lakes. Loon parents will transport their offspring and provide floating refuge.
It was a commission meant to depict motherhood with two progeny. They are carved of tupelo and painted with oils.
Great Northern Diver
The great northern diver, or common loon, has a distinctive and eerie call that is well-known in northeastern Vermont.
This commissioned piece now resides in a private collection.
