@danette Thanks, Danette. I kept applying PS artistic effects one atop another. I needed some art therapy and I completely immersed myself in this one!
@janetb Thank you Janet. I do love having them feel so at home here...more than Ken does! But I love that they're disturbed by nothing...mowing, sweeping or filling the pool. I can walk up to them to put food down and they just stand there... Must be my inner farm girl that never lived on a farm!
they look so well fed and contented. they should be having babies soon, or have they already? nice textural treatment. mewish i have some of your artsy talent. aces, my friend.
@maggiemae hehe...funny you should say that! It's crossed my mind they we'll miss them and I may want to buy some stone ducks for "replacement decoration"! "Decoys" crossed my mind, but are they as expensive there as the ones we see in Nova Scotia?!! Beautiful, but Yike$!
@maggiemae I've seen most well over $100...well, those are the "antiques", but they're what catch my eye... And as I write, Sir Francis has just touched down... all for free!
@Weezilou I presume you are talking about that Drake Man! Our ducks all shoot off local ponds to hide at the beginning of the Duck shooting season. Its called 'ducking off'!
@kevin365 Thank you, Kevin... I was pushing for even more abstract, but the little hen kept disappearing! You're always so kind... As with any art materials, you may think you have an idea where you're headed, but the final stages are often a surprise. Probably better artists achieve their intended goals! But thanks for liking my work as I adore your poetic prose!
