Well it is hunting season here in PA... the hunting has been great, but the getting is bad..

Hardly any birds around and the deer I saw in archery have vanised..

Painted a Wood Duck last night to teach Ron that painting can be fun..

Here is a photo of a wood and metal piece that I did... the wood was a found object in Maine.. just added the metal wave for display...

Good crowd at the shop but too many hunting stories to get anything serious done..
