Class 2

 Class 2  5" x 7"  acrylic
SOLD
A mother merganser leads her ducklings into what appears to be a precarious situation but, although new to rougher water, these ducks are already expert swimmers...  I think it is important to note that the glowing translucency of the light in the deep rapid is what captured my attention and inspired this painting.

McDowell Creek Harlequins

McDowell Creek Harlequins
16" x 20"  acrylic  $3800
After a few months of studying this painting to figure out where and how to add some ducks, it finally hit me.  Harlequin ducks resting on the rocks. Originally, I was kicking around the idea of hooded mergansers, but harlequins fit the habitat better as they nest on inland streams just like this each spring and summer.  The brilliant markings of the male also add a nice accent to the painting.
