Title: Duck Species “Pintails Flushed” by Hugh Monahan signed and dated 1950. Impress your guests and clients in your home or office with this hunting birds masterpiece. Subject: ornithology, animal, bird study of Canadian Ducks Northern Pintails in front profile view - they have been just flushed out of the wetlands in British Columbia Canada and most of them are in mid flight trying to escape approaching huntsman who are out of sight. Reeds are running along the bottom view, with the water wetlands just above that meander outwards. The shore bank further up with one pintail still on the ground, above with mainly overcast dark sky. A rather nice display size with the frame being 59.5 cm wide and 49.5 cm high. Medium oil on canvas Set in a traditional original fancy gilt decorative frame Signed by the known Irish/Canadian artist Hugh Monahan - in our opinion this is one of his rather exceptional works Artist biography: Hugh Cecil Charles Monahan was a known Irish/Canadian artist who was born in the year 1914 just after the beginning of Ww1. He was born and brought up in Dublin in Ireland. It is known that his family moved and he then grew up in the sub-continent of India as his father's career was in the civil service. When he was older his parents wanted him to attend a boarding school back in England in the north west region. He did go back home once a year to spend some time with his parents during the Christmas holidays. Monahan attended the Royal Hibernian Art Academy. He loved working with oils and especially adored creating landscape scenes that had wildfowl with immense atmosphere. He produced a feeling of movements in his works. Monahan combined realism together with a touch of impressionism to make full advantage of the use of light. He exhibited in various galleries around Ireland and museums also in England in the capital London. Later in adult life he moved with his wife and children, emigrating to Canada to the province of British Columbia and settlingin the City of Vancouver. He died towards the end of 1970 when he was about to go on a sporting hunt for ducks. Monahan’s works have sold at auctions around the world. The pintail or northern pintail (Anas acuta) is a duck species with wide geographic distribution that breeds in the northern areas of Europe and across the Palearctic and North America. It is migratory and winters south of its breeding range to the equator. Unusually for a bird with such a large range, it has no geographical subspecies if the possibly conspecific duck Eaton's pintail is considered to be a separate species. This is a large duck, and the male's long central tail feathers give rise to the species' English and scientific names. Both sexes have blue-grey bills and grey legs and feet. The drake is more striking, having a thin white stripe running from the back of its chocolate-coloured head down its neck to its mostly white undercarriage. The drake also has attractive grey, brown, and black patterning on its back and sides. The hen's plumage is more subtle and subdued, with drab brown feathers similar to those of other female dabbling ducks. Hens make a coarse quack and the drakes a flute-like whistle. The northern pintail is a bird of open wetlands which nests on the ground, often some distance from water. It feeds by dabbling for plant food and adds small invertebrates to its diet during the nesting season. It is highly gregarious when not breeding, forming large mixed flocks with other species of duck. This duck's population is affected by predators, parasites and avian diseases. Human activities, such as agriculture, hunting and fishing, have also had a significant impact on numbers. Nevertheless, owing to the huge range and large population of this species, it is not threatened globally.
