“Ducks, painting in progress” – 24×36 – oil on canvas
I started this painting some time ago and then put aside. This is a painting of the ducks at Rattlesnake Ridge swimming in the reedy river, with some bare trees behind them.
I can’t tell if it’s a “false start” or not, mainly because I like the wild dark reflection in the water. It seems like it has potential, but also some basic issues. Any ideas?

Do you think the ducks get lost because of the very dark reflections in the water? They are a great shape element, to be sure. Perhaps if you punched up the presence of the ducks, to balance out the heavy left side? Otherwise I think it is lovely.
