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!!

I have been fussing with my canadian goose painting a little today. It’s one of those pieces that I could tweak forever 
— I’ll be finished with it soon. 
I am nearly finished with the Canadian Goose watercolor painting that I am currently working on for Minnesota Ducks Unlimited’s 2006 sponsor print. I will be adding some final touches to it.
I’ve spent most of today painting on my Canadian Goose painting for Minnesota Ducks Unlimited — working on the abstract water patterns. I will get a fresh photo of it posted soon so everyone can see it’s progress.

I have been painting on a few of the requested waterfowl paintings I have in progress at the moment. They are coming along nicely. I have included a photograph of a detail portion of the wood duck piece.
I have been painting the reflection portion of my Canadian Goose piece for Minnesota Ducks Unlimited earlier today.
This piece will be printed later this year as Minnesota Ducks Unlimited’s Sponsor Print. The original and it’s limited edition will be unveiled to the public at the state’s annual banquet. Visit Ducks Unlimited’s website -www.ducks.org- for information.

It’s been raining for most of the morning. I love painting during thunderstorms (but inside my studio, not outside plein air )!! It’s so relaxing!
I have been painting on my large Canada Goose piece today — it’s about half finished. I’ll post a photo of the full-color painting a little later. The sketch for the painting is featured on the left.
I am also still working on my four 9×12-ish miniature/small works paintings. I have been working primarily on my new owl piece — the Barred Owl portrait. It is coming along well. I think I will be sending it the Whistle Pik Galleries in Texas for their annual Christmas Miniature Show that my family and I are a part of.
I really like painting in a variety of sizes at the same time. I feel it stretches your abilities. Handling variety in your work allows you to grow as an artist — leaving your creative options limitless. I couldn’t imagine being restricted to painting only a certain way, size, or subject — it would make painting a tiresome chore, for me. I suppose it could be summed up that art shouldn’t be boring.
