Cormorants Art Print & Greeting Card by Gene Irvin (1934–2026)

Cormorants | Art Print & Greeting Card by Gene Irvin (1934–2026)

Two Cormorants perched at the water’s edge — dark, dense, prehistoric-looking birds with that distinctive hooked bill and yellow-green facial skin. Gene Irvin placed them exactly where they belong: on a rock beside a quiet river, soft blue and green watercolor washes suggesting the treeline and water behind them, the birds themselves rendered in precise stippled pen and ink.

Cormorants are expert divers, plunging beneath the surface to chase fish with powerful webbed feet. Their feathers are not fully waterproof — which is why they’re so often seen perched with wings spread wide, drying in the sun. Found on coastlines, rivers, and lakes across North America and beyond, they are one of the most widespread waterbird families on Earth.

Available in:

• 8×10 Giclée print
• Greeting card with envelope

Why collectors love it: A classic waterbird scene — two birds, a quiet river, the stillness of a morning on the water. Gene’s combination of precise stippling and loose watercolor washes gives this piece a timeless, naturalist quality.
