Three Paintings Worked One

This is one of my latest pieces with 11" x 14" Acrylic.  I had worked with this before.  It needed some thing of interest.  I love Brandt Geese.  Enjoy!!

I had also worked on this piece at touch.  Did not like the area on the left bottom.  Still needed some more but enough for know.  11" x 14" Acrylic.

I am done.  (I think!!)  11" x 14" Acrylic
