this is beautiful work, the reflection and colors are wonderful. I have not seen or heard one Loon since I have lived in Wisconsin, hope someday I will.
Love the colours in this one, our ducks here are just brown!
Artist Reply: Hi Virginia, loons are such unique water birds. They aren't in the duck family that I know of, just a breed of their own. Their colouring and calls are like no other bird, at least in this region.
Here is a link http://www.ns.ec.gc.ca/wildlife/loons/images.html to a web page so you can see some photos and hear the wonderful and unique sounds they make. Thanks for your kind comments and interest, Ann
Artist Reply: Hi bianca, I have painted loons other times, they're fun and not hard until you get to the head. lol the eye and beak can be tricky.
thanks for looking, Ann
