A few small and quick sketches that I did last weekend. You see these birds everywhere here in the parks and ponds. And even sometimes crossing the streets in a long solemn procession, stopping the traffic for a while. I did these sketches in the sun at over 30C heat, which forced me to work really quick.
THello,blaga!These graceful watercolor sketches are really perfect!
ReplyDeleteHave a nice weekend ... and happy painting!
They remind me of a gaggle of geese we saw this evening at the golf course when we went to photograph owls. Lovely watercolor work!!!!!!!
ReplyDeletevery interesting sketches Blaga,compliment :)
ReplyDeleteciao gloria
oh I love these sketches - they're superb - we have many of these birds around the ponds near here - haven't painted any yet - you're inspiring me to get out there and paint some
ReplyDeletejust had a browse through your site - you have a lovely loose style which I like, following...and on my side bar so don't miss anything!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful sketches, Blaga, wonderful watercolor work!
ReplyDeleteYou know these and other kind of geese were caught and killed by the thousands recently near the airport in Holland, because they were a danger to air traffic. A real shame, they are so beautiful!
très jolis croquis pleins de vie!bon week-end
ReplyDeleteBravo Blaga ! très jolie impression laissée par ton pinceau, ces croquis sont parfaits. Bisous !
ReplyDeleteCiao Blaga, trovo molto belli, questi tuoi schizzi di anatre canadesi. Buona domenica!
ReplyDeleteWow, thank you everybody! I didn't expect that these modest sketches will generate such delightful feedback :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Rita, Lynn and Gloria!
Sharon, I'm glad you said "Hi", which prompted me to discover your blog. Happy to make your acquaintance!
Yes, such stories are sad, Judy. I think they started using trained birds of prey, falcons, hawks and eagles, at the Toronto airport to scare off all those sea-gulls and turkeys.
Merci, Isabelle et Lydie!
Grazie Tito!
