TANAGER IN LEAVES 1 | CANVAS GICLEE | 18 x 18

These giclees are high quality, wrapped canvas.  These are reproductions made from high resolution 'captures' of Morgan Fisher's original fine artwork. 

The high resolution images of the artwork are turned into museum quality, wrapped canvas prints, which are created on highest quality of archival materials, hand stretched over heavy duty bars, and coated with a protective UV varnish (protection from fading in sunlight). The gallery canvas wraps come wired and ready to hang! 

Tanagers singing deeply hidden in the woods at dusk and dawn is a miracle to the ears. This is one of the most beautiful sounds from a songbird. Even with the most vibrant reds and oranges, the males are always hard to find due to their size and secrecy; one is fortunate to catch a glimpse of this special bird. When a tanager is spotted or heard, one should pause and listen and watch for as long as possible.

These tiny birds reach the center of our being and remind us of primal beauty and why we need to protect the woods and trees. When Fisher’s son was little, they’d walk the woods and sit near where they thought they might spot them where they sang. They’d sit for a half an hour, watching the bird drop softly and silently from branch to branch and tree to tree. He was observing them (like most birds, far more aware of the human than the human is of the bird) and deciding whether he’d want to share his very special voice or song. The tanager song is one of the nicest sounds with which to enter into the dark of night—as beautifully as with a Whippoorwill and the brown thrasher.

In Fisher’s paintings they glow in bold, expressive color and form, pulling that hidden vibrance out into the light so we never forget their magic.
