We have several nearby lakes, streams, rivers and ponds which have become "home" to many northern critters. There are many waterfowl species, ( ducks, geese, swans, loons, herons ) as well as muskrats, beavers and river otters.
Common loons ( as featured in this painting ) are very popular around these parts and folks who frequent the lake can experience their sightings and calls quite often. Indeed, it is a calming experience to witness these beauties lazily floating along. Their wonderful call is unique and something you won't forget.
This piece is on 12" x 16" canvas. The loons started as a black & white underpainting in Acrylics. The background and loon "embellisments" were in Oils.

I love your Loon painting. Very well done. They just keep getting better and better... just when we thought they were the best, then out comes one that is better.
Dag-gone impressive, buddy! Keep 'em coming. :-) (By the way, the one loon in the foreground is wondering, aloud, to the other, "Who the heck is THAT guy?!")
Amazing work! Especially the water reflections.
