In Progress - Part 2


Continuing from my last post.  At this point the canvas is covered, and I am starting to add detail.


The goose is finished.


First duck and reflection finished.

Coming up next:   Something architectural, and then the Fort Worth Stock Show!

  1. Thanks for allowing us a peek into how a painting evolves from start to finish . . .very, very neat. I really like the way you can even see their feet in the water. It feels like you should be able to see them paddling! The goose is amazing - from his wet beak down to his beautiful feathers.

  2. This is absolutely stunning! I also like the title and how nature played out a children's game for you.

  3. My favorite part-the blues in the shadow on the neck. Nice placement of cerulean and cobalt blue. As usual, a fun, inspiring progression. Thanks very much.
