A pair of cinnamon teal rest in the last glow of evening, while rain falls in the distance.
This was my entry for the Federal Duck Stamp competition, which concluded last weekend. I made it to round two, and scored about the middle of the pack.
I struggled with this piece a little bit, as the only reference photos I had were dark and blurry, and this species does not live around here so I couldn't get more. I had to "make" a lot of this painting up, and I think it shows.
9" x 12" Acrylic.
