The common Loon, an iconic Canadian symbol. Found throughout the country, it can be seen on our $1 coin, and has a distinct, peaceful call that can be oft heard across any of our thousands of lakes. This work of animal art shows the beauty and peacefulness of the Canadian wild, making it desirable wall art. Calm and orderly, this mixed media painting presents the same air of quiet and peacefulness the bird itself echos. Own original art that evokes and celebrates the natural heritage of this wide, natural land. Art for sale of a Loon mother and chicks swimming on Murtle Lake in Wells Gray Provincial Park, British Columbia, Canada.

According to Spirits Of The West Coast Art Gallery, the "Loon is a solitary bird of the wilderness, that symbolizes tranquility, serenity and the reawakening of old hopes, wishes and dreams. The Loon relies on water and water is a symbol for dreams and multiple levels of consciousness, therefore Loons teach us to pay attention to our dreams, wishes and hopes." They continue, that a First Nations "Legend says that to see a Loon is a symbol of a dream come true or an answered wish."

Murtle Lake is the largest paddle-only lake in North America. The lake is long and serene with camping sites a two hour canoe ride from launch point. These Loons were in the middle of the lake not far off my port side, and looked cute in the reflections on the water.

Wells Gray Provincial Park in British Columbia, Canada has "lush alpine meadows, excellent birding and wildlife viewing". The park offers "hiking, viewing of spectacular waterfalls, volcanic features, a natural rock bridge, quality trout, chinook and char fishing, camping, river rafting, kayaking, wildlife viewing, horseback riding and photography."
