'Waiting on a Widgeon' - Original Framed

Acrylic on gesso primed panel
Frame Size: 14.5"x17.5"

Took a different kind of “shot” this duck season opener—and I couldn’t be happier with how it turned out. Over the past eight months, I’ve learned more about painting than I ever imagined, and this piece pushed me even further. Capturing the movement and reflection of water is one of the toughest challenges for any artist, especially with acrylics, but that’s exactly what makes it so rewarding.

“Wishing for a Widgeon” brings together the stillness of the hunt and the restless beauty of nature—a moment suspended between patience and anticipation. Perfect for any outdoorsman, waterfowl enthusiast, or art collector who appreciates the quiet poetry of the marsh.
