Next in my 🇨🇦 Canadian series: la belle province. The symbols of Québec, its provincial bird, the snowy owl and its tree, the yellow birch cover the hand-carved map of #Québec in this #linocut. The block was inked 'à la poupée' (with different colours, Payne's gray, gold, black and yellow, in different areas) and printed by hand on lovely Japanese kozo (or mulberry) paper.

I had been hoping to see a snowy owl for years before I finally did. Of course, it was unexpected. We went out for a drive one day and stopped at a park at a marina in Whitby. The wind, water, and freezing temperatures had transformed the landscape. I was admiring Nature's work when I saw...was it...yes!!!!!!!! My first snowy owl in the wild. :)

I absolutely love the background and contrast with this Snowy Owl (Harfang des Neiges en français). Photo taken by my partner Annie (whose camera I borrow :) Jan 5, 2025 in Kanata, Ontario.
Nikon D850, Sigma 300-800 at 800mm f/11 1/2000s ISO 400. Processed in LR to remove a power line in the background.
