Ruffed Grouse Society...Donation 24"x 48" acrylic

In the finishing stages of painting a pair of ruffed 

grouse in this panoramic view of the PikeRiver...

near Twelve Foot Falls of Marinette Countyhere 

in NE Wisconsin.

Once more, the featured and honored artist for

the northern Wisconsin Ruffed Grouse Society,

money going for habitat acquistion, management,

and so forth.

This one is 24"x 48"...

and a closeup of the grouse at its present stage
of the game..

I need to do more shaping of the wings for more correct

anatomy, and some darkening washes to bring the value

to a correct feel, yet the bird needs some distinction.

I'll be adding one more bird going away from the viewer and
more in the upper left side of the painting, going somewhat
toward the back stream..

I'll upload the finished effort...
