- Lot Description
Lester W. Didier (1930-2014)
Snow Goose, 1997
signed and dated "Les Didier 1997" lower right
acrylic on board, 7 by 10 in.
1998 Wisconsin Waterfowl Stamp
Les Didier was born in Ohio and studied at the Dayton Art Institute. After a successful career as a commercial artist in the advertising industry, he turned his focus to bird art in 1983. Among other honors, three of his paintings were chosen for the Wisconsin Duck Stamp, including this and the following lot.
"The eyes see more than the camera can record or field sketch contain," the artist wrote. "One must absorb the sounds and smells and solitude of the outdoors to allow the inner eye to more fully understand. It is this imagery of mind and senses that most fascinates me. That is what I attempt to capture and combine with the reality of the species."
The sale of this work benefits the Wisconsin Waterfowl Association.
