Description

A cold, clear, and beautiful Fall morning, introduces itself deep in the backwoods of Florida. The quiet when the morning begin, could only be disturbed by an occasional leaf, falling on the surface of the water. Even the fog was as quiet as a ghost, as it rolled slowly into the swamp, or was it being chased away by the warm sun?. Activities in the swamp will amaze you as the day starts to get brighter, which is the story I want to tell you in this painting. You know that a smart buck can get away in the smallest areas by being watchful, moving only at night, stopping to look and listen, and dashing away, white flag waving at the slightest provocation from unnatural noises. This particular morning, the buck was so busy being watchful for the hunter that would amble in this area of the woods every now and then, that he missed this wood duck pair that thought the same pond was a perfect place to preen some feathers, get a good meal and rest. As he drops his head to get a sip of water, outta of the sky comes 3 of the most beautiful ducks in North America, the wood duck.These type of occurrences are not an everyday experience, but wouldn't you love to see this in the wild?. I wanted to capture the colors and woods of Florida in this painting in a way that would make the viewers heart skip a beat.
