I found a family of Mallard ducks near the water on Lake Ontario.  I was somewhat hidden by bushes so I was able to get some great photos of the babies with their mother without them being bothered by me.

I painted this for a small works juried show.  I had the wrong date for the deadline for entry and missed it by a few days, so here it is.

These are two baby Canada Geese walking up from the water to have a snack.  I was able to get quite close to them but under the watchful eye of the mother and father.  I have posted the picture below of one of them keeping an eye on me.

I think it is Father Goose with Mother Goose right behind him.  He let me get a little closer to him than he did to his babies.

Storms come up fast and sometimes furious on the lake.  It can make for some pretty dramatic skies but you have to capture them fast.

I was taking photos of boats and these birds were sitting on the dock.  I have posted the reference photo below.  This baby was looking right at me looking so angry and it makes me smile when I look at that photo so I just had to paint him.
