Cleared for Takeoff! (Bufflehead)

Throughout history artists have adopted new developments in technology and materials. Since I live in the 21st century I use modern tools like cameras, and the recent advances in digital photography and image stabilized lenses have opened up a new world of possibilities. The first time I used a digital camera and stabilized lens I was able to get more in focus images of flying birds than the rest of my life prior. This painting of a male bufflehead taking off is the result of that experience.

The original has been sold, but this image is available as a Limited Edition Print. See below for more information.
