Here are a few I just finished up. GWT and woodie are white pine and oil. Squaw is white pine and acrylic. Hooded is canvas and acrylic.

Pat, thanks for posting those. I love sketches like that. Simple enough to capture the moment but your mind fills in all the detail needed. Each one could tell a story.

Finally something within driving range for me....and I won't be able to attend. I have never heard of that festival either. The weather is supposed to be nice so hopefully you guys have a good time.

Here is my rendition of a canvas surf scoter.

Pat, What a difference that wash makes! Love the stretched neck teal with the bill up. Great pose.

Eric, Do you have attic trusses over the end without the doors? It looks like it with the closer truss spacing. I am looking into doing the same thing for some storage over a workshop. My planned layout is very similar to yours just smaller. I am limited to 1600sq. ft. Edit: Just read...

Eric, With the bookshelf girts I don't think racking is something I would be worried about when choosing to finish the interior. Most pole buildings are left unfinished on the inside and use the traditional girt style with metal exterior. With the bookshelf girts AND finished interior you...

Nice Dave. I think you nailed the pose and the paint. Are you going to keel it or just put a pad weight on it? It looks like it might take a few tries to get it to balance out. What did you make the individual feathers out of?

Good idea going with the bookshelf girts. Much easier to insulate/finish. Additional cost up front but worth it IMHO. Looks like a great space. I'm planning one about half the size of that for next year.

Steve, Elegant paint job on that killdeer. Beautifully done! I love that blending on the tail.

Paul, Have fun over there. Beautiful country side with welcoming hosts. The wife and I were there a few years ago. Also just left your hometown on a business trip. Calgary is a great city.

Here is the Steve Wheeler black duck I received. Can't wait to work it in the fall. Love the body style on this bird. [/URL]

Tom, love the pose of that scaup. I need to start keeping some of the birds I make and put them in my rig instead of giving them away to friends, but they don't seem to mind and I enjoy making them. Steve, can't wait to see that killdeer in paint. I love watching those guys run around the...

First green wing. This one is going in the swap.

With a few hours to spare.
