"Couple Goals” has been honoured by the Women's Art Society of Montreal - winning the Third Place Award for the BLOOM Art Exhibition 2024 at Galérie BOA in Old Montreal. This painting is one of two of my pieces that were selected for the exhibition, the other being “Reading The Menu".

This is an original studio watercolour painting I did of a pair of Canada Geese at Georgian Bay in Ontario. The Canada goose is a bird that mates for life; they are devoted to one another, and will fiercely protect their mates and their family unit; hence the title “Couple Goals”. A romantic notion of true love. The calm water is painted in the delicate blues of a cool sky, in contrast with the warm sienna tones of the geese, reflected in a moment of quiet serenity. This is a pure watercolour painting: all whites are the whites of the paper, no white paint was used. I used quite a few advanced watercolour techniques to create this piece including glazing, lifting, masking, negative painting and wet-in-wet. See the video below for a glimpse into how I created this painting. The reference photo I used with permission from Christopher Pearson, a wonderful photographer of birds and other wildlife. This painting is for someone who loves birds, nature and wildlife, and a source of romantic inspiration. Ideal artwork for any living or working space, this piece will make a beautiful anniversary or wedding gift.

Watercolour, 14 x 20", painted with professional light-fast pigments on 100% cotton paper. The painting is signed by me, JC Little, on the front and has the title and date on the back. I will include a certificate of authenticity with this painting. It will be packaged with an archival sleeve, with stiff cardboard backing on both sides, and bubble wrap to protect it, inside a box. To avoid waste, where ever possible I will re-use mailers and other packaging materials. It’s recommended to frame it behind glass, with an acid-free matte, to preserve the painting from deterioration. Display away from direct sunlight.
