Really like this Margaret. As well as the drake, I love the movement in the water, those black lines just make it.

He looks very purposeful Maureen. I admire your tenacity in attempting to paint every day. I'm just too lazy.

Day 3 of my daily challenge - this one has been a struggle! 3 different attempts at drawing/painting this Shoveler drake from one of my photos - none are very good. Watercolour and artist pen on A4 HP.
