I recently finished a commission of a number of ducks (waterfowl). I really enjoyed painting these birds and the habitats.
The models for these paintings were simply beautiful, though the weather decided not to co-operate during our studies (in the rain). Each bird seemed to have it’s own personality, so a part of my goal in each piece was to capture the essence of each bird.

My print signing sessions have begun. I put a bit of time in autographing today at Maximum Graphics for the Ducks Unlimited Sponsor Print (only 4,500 more prints left to go!!
).

I visited the printer today to approve the final proof for the Ducks Unlimited Sponsor Print. I think it looks very nice – the colors reproduced well.
It is really exciting to see the finished (or near finished) product of your artwork being made like this. I am so happy to be able to do my part to help Ducks Unlimited the wildlife and wild places that mean so much to me

I never posted the final image of my Canadian Goose painting, so here is the completed piece. The painting is now in the process of being printed in lithograph. I will add updates about that a bit later

I have been painting on this piece (of a drake goldeneye duck) today. I like how all of the soft tones in the painting are coming along.

I am busily painting on my golden eye drake (duck) painting. I plan to have some photos of all of these duck paintings online in the blog (and parhaps elsewhere)soon. I’m just a little behind in that area at the moment

I don’t really get traditional "vacation holidays" from work
– but we did have a wonderful meal for Thanksgiving. I feel so fortunate and blessed for having such a wonderfully supportive family and a job I love. I couldn’t ask for more!!
