    I mostly lurk because I am pretty shy amongst so many skilled artists (taxidermists and other artists alike) but I've got two people kindly hounding me to put some of my work up here. :)
    I'm still very much learning and I know some of these have errors. I'm very green behind the ears still. :)

    Looks to me like some really beautiful work. My favorite is the pintails, but I'm a sucker for pintails. I also like the turkeys, the scene reminds me of my favorite time to hunt turkeys... Right after a cool early morning rain with the fog just starting to burn off.

    Turkey one is the best I think. The others look too much like photographs for me.

    awesome work. especially if you say that you are still learning. prints look like they are for entry into conservation stamp contest. could easily see that bufflehead print as a stamp. keep at you are going to be scary awesome

    Thanks! Yes, these were all painted for competitions for duck stamps (the turkeys were for an upland stamp). I never do very well but I am up against the big names and I'm still a newbie. :)

    ;) I am a painter/artist And those are very good renditions.
    Acrylic work is awesome. I hate acrylic. Only oil for me.

    I'm not over on this side of the tracks too often, but I do draw some so I can appreciate the talent over here. Just thought I would comment on the outstanding work. The realism is incredible. Thanks for posting........

    Re: Bunch of Bird paintings

    Both Brians, thank you! Very kind of you.

    I am with you there... I am not too keen on acrylic either. But my 'studio' is a room I share with my pet birds and I am always very careful to use supplies that won't harm them. Of course only after I invested in a nice acrylic set was I educated that one can use oils with little/no odor! The way I was taught I used a lot of solvents and the fumes were bad. Now I just have to wait till I can afford oils. :)

    I really like your work, but why the obsession with oils ? if you can produce work like this in acrylics why change, I used to paint in oils then changed to water colours and have never went back. Years ago you could have easily made a living producing work like this, but unfortunately there are now lots of artists producing outstanding work , stick at it, you have a talent and one day things will work out for you.
