Well it was going to be a Goldeneye … one of the dogs thought otherwise.
Going to try and square up and make it a coot if there’s enough wood left

 Been kind of busy. Daughter finished painting this wigeon. I was not happy with him and my daughter saved him from the wood pile. She did a great job on her first wigeon painting. I got two more drakes sealed and ready for gesso and paint.  One more drake to sand and seal then I can get going finishing final touches on the hens. Part of next seasons gunning rig.

Looking good VincePatrick,
Looking good.
To quote the title of Thomas Aquinas Daly's book - THE PAINTING SEASON.
It's here now.
Oil paint Least Bittern on wine case lid. Was inspired as I watched one up close last year while fly fishing. The smallest member of the Heron family and can really do a disappearing act in little to no cover. Amazing to see.
