But I much prefer putting them in the environment they live in, often with similar birds around.<br /><br />I believe that there are a fair number of ducks in certain spots in Philadelphia where I could work from life. But the colder weather scares me off a bit. One of these days though I'll need to brave the cold.........Ken Januskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16984782169460110520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3618025896103645633.post-80481213612793288902009-12-08T07:08:13.344-05:002009-12-08T07:08:13.344-05:00Hi Ken,

The group of pintails is especially interesting, with reflections and one bird shaking its head or stretching. The group looks like it is about to take flight.<br /><br />The two male pintails are wonderful. The one in the foreground appears to be looking back at something. Maybe the group of females! Lovely watercolor. I do like your sketches too. EllenEllen Snyderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09158932570826154360noreply@blogger.com
