Mallards completed

I really enjoy painting birds.  These two mallards were photographed at the Palo Alto duck pond.  Before I started laying down paint, I envisioned these ducks painted on a white background with a few cat tails or plant fronds as the background.  So, what do you think?  I like the simplicity and just the natural colors of the ducks...

Up next is a tavern we found on our walk across England a few years ago.  I'll be painting on the Aquaboard panel.  I want to seal this painting and frame it without glass.  Thanks for coming by, Mark
