Description
EDIT: Weird, I had a description written here when I uploaded it, but noticed there wasn't anything when I clicked on the deviation just now. Fixed now, hopefully!Okay guys, here's my entry for the Federal Duck Stamp this year! Unfortunately, it didn't make it past the first round (only one "in" vote), but I'll just try harder for next year. I'm very excited about the species available toΒ paint next year. Congrats to Jennifer Miller for winning the whole thing!!
7" X 10"
Oil on Board
Tons of refs involved with making this piece, including some from the WetCanvas RIL, myself, and lots of imagination to pull it all together.

Unf! This painting makes me overcome my relative dislike of Canada geese (I know, I know! 
And then I realize how small this is (to me!) and... *gasp*

Lol, well that's a good thing then -- thank you!
Haha, yeah, I wish they were a little larger -- it would be easier to fit all those details in there.

I think its so cool that you do the Duck Stamp contest every year, good for you! I know you have worked with acrylics in the past, how do they compare to oil paints for you? Do you have a preference?Β

Β This is a most excellent image my good artist, but so please forgive me if my Delusions of Humour cry "Duck! duck? GOOSE!" as a fair reflection of my thought processes on spotting this image β¦ I may have a bad habit of stating the obvious and trying to make it sound FUNNY (not to mention an even worse habit of failing in the attempt).Β

Haha, well thank you very much! I'm glad I was able to unintentionally entertain in that regard.
