Mallard Duck
Painting a duck makes you realize how shiny they are. Tricky to capture.

I’m already seeing lots of these guys and it’s not even spring yet!
Here are my birds (and my tree) on display at Stock Home Design at 3060 West Broadway, Vancouver.
I don’t see finches very often, so when I do, I feel lucky. As I sit here looking out at the winter rain pouring down, it is nice to think of a warm spring day when I might get to see one again.

When I look at the paintings I’ve completed over the past year or so, I notice a trend. I seem to be going back to the subject matter that I loved throughout my childhood and teens. Horses, pets, birds and wildlife. It hasn’t been intentional. They are fun, and one leads to the next until I have a series of animals.
It’s fun to compare the new to the old. This is a sketch from many years ago.
