Progress...Northern Shovelers Bog Brook Wetlands...Oil

A bit more work today, defining softening background
and refining and strengthening form of the pair of
ducks-



















I think the painting as a painting is coming along nicely, but
I'm still missing the mark a degree to where I wanted more
suggestion of motion. A Manfred Schatz I am not...but, the
ducks are still in keeping with my painterly treatment of the
background, feather groups suggested.

Here is a closeup of the drake shoveler...and clicking on it
will show the unique coloration and brushwork...
