Grace and Heritage: “Contour Nene Goose” by Robert Lyn Nelson Celebrates Hawaii’s Cherished Icon
Robert Lyn Nelson presents “Contour Nene Goose”—a stunning original contour line drawing rendered in graphite on fine art paper. The composition is characterized by a harmonious interplay of sweeping, uninterrupted lines, skillfully evoking the graceful form and noble presence of Hawaii’s rare state bird. Each contour is thoughtfully placed, abstract yet precise, offering an elegant balance between minimalism and intricate detail. The landscape background of Haleakala —grounds the artwork in a distinctly Hawaiian sense of place while allowing the Nene Goose to take center stage.
The Nene, or Hawaiian goose (Branta sandvicensis), is Hawaii’s official state bird and one of the world’s rarest geese. Endemic to the Hawaiian Islands, its numbers dwindled dramatically in the 20th century due to habitat loss and introduced predators. Thanks to dedicated conservation efforts, the Nene’s population is slowly recovering, but it remains a potent symbol of resilience, heritage, and the fragile balance of island ecosystems.
This sophisticated drawing is a rare opportunity to own a work that seamlessly marries artistic technique and regional significance. “Contour Nene Goose” is perfect for collectors who appreciate both the lyrical elegance of contour drawing and the evocative storytelling of wildlife art.
Bring a touch of refined nature and Hawaiian spirit into your collection.
