The Gathering Spot, 9 x 12, oil on panel, L. Daniel © 2019
This was another plein air excursion in the Golden Isles of Georgia. I never get enough of the birds and marsh it seems, and I especially love when the birds hang out while I paint. They don't necessarily stand still, but I do get to watch their connection to the marsh and observe the gestures of their hunting. They are definitely influenced by their peers... when one takes off, the rest are right behind him! Those three guys in the water are definitely fixin' to fly... no question!
I'm counting the days until I can go back.

I love the painting and the observations about birds. Yesterday we visited our favourite park, and did everything we could to get the swans to come in to get some food from us. The waves on the lake were high, and they could not come on the beach because it was covered with thick, mucky algae.
I so love swans, and all the birds.
