European Wigeon Finished
« on: March 15, 2011, 07:50:15 PM »
Hello all, Just finished this Wigeon up.  This is an older bird that started showing some white spots on his head.  The pose is an aggresive "comin in" to the decoys pose.  Customer will be putting on his own driftwood base he collected while hunting this bird.  Enjoy the pic's.  John

Dear John...Please stop with the photo's...you are creating an uncontrollable urge for me to go get a bird for you to mount...Now that the spousal unit has witnessed your work,she is pushing me in that direction also..The stress and tension associated with this pressure has me wound up and wanting to kill something in the name of art!!!!! :chuckle: :chuckle:
