This is a real good painting Margaret, you clearly know your subject well the geese are great.

Oh I like this and the way they're flying at me.

I like the wide angle view, Margaret. Did you heavily crop the painting? The geese flying towards the viewer really add to the impact of the action. Great stuff. Bri

Thank you Carolyn and Heather :) Thank you Bri :) I didn't crop the painting (perhaps I shouldn't have painted the foreground goose so near the bottom of the image) but I had cropped the photograph I used as a reference. RSPB Mersehead is a stunning place, but I think also a place that lends itself best to the long, thin, format.

At least one airport with operations. Like your painting, Margaret!
