Crossing the Turning Tide

I posted this piece without birds a few weeks ago. It leaned against the wall for a while until I figured out what it needed.  Stilts seem to be the answer when I need a bird to add a bit of drama. These are North American black-necked stilts.  This will be one of twenty-five original oils that I'll be exhibiting at The Waterfowl Festival  in Easton, Maryland - November 11, 12 and 13th. You can find me in the Pavilion across the street from the Armory.

The second piece is the final piece I'm painting for the Waterfowl Festival. It's just a little guy - 11" x 11" but it gives me some ideas for a larger painting - eventually.
