Item Details

Description

Pat Godin (b. 1953)
Paris, Ontario, Canada, 2005
9 3/4 in. tall, 6 1/4 by 5 in. base

A native to the Western United States and British Columbia, the male Columbian sharp-tailed grouse has a highly distinguishable white wedge-shaped tail and a complex feather pattern. With this carving, Godin deftly renders this species and its natural prairie habitat.

The maker once remarked, "There is hardly a day goes by that I don’t appreciate the opportunity I have had to spend my life so intimately with my amazing avian subjects in their natural world.” The anatomical accuracy of Godin's carvings are a direct result of his longtime intimacy with bird species, his keen observation skills, and his attention to detail.

The underside of the base is inscribed by the artist "Columbian Sharp-tailed Grouse / 2005 / by Pat Godin and signed “Patrick R. Godin.”
Original condition with minimal wear.

Provenance: Private Collection, Pennsylvania, acquired directly from the artist
