McDowell Creek Harlequins

McDowell Creek Harlequins
16" x 20"  acrylic  $3800

After a few months of studying this painting to figure out where and how to add some ducks, it finally hit me.  Harlequin ducks resting on the rocks. Originally, I was kicking around the idea of hooded mergansers, but harlequins fit the habitat better as they nest on inland streams just like this each spring and summer.  The brilliant markings of the male also add a nice accent to the painting.
