Feeding the Geese

“Growing up on the farm,” says Morgan Weistling,“I loved to feed the animals. This painting brings back childhood memories of my two sisters and myself. I love to paint geese because their natural design is so decorative. I named each goose as I painted it — I had Daisy, Lobelia, Bungo, Pippin, Eleanor and Hamfast — and had some fun painting Bingo, the lone duck, peering out at the viewer.”

Morgan was featured in “Western Art Collector Magazine” in an article that declared,“ . . . he can paint any subject matter — still life, landscape or figurative work. His painterly style, control of light and color values are outstanding.” Weistling was also heralded as an “heir apparent” to modern Western masters Howard Terpning and Mian Situ in “Art of the West Magazine’s” 20th Anniversary issue.
