"Eider"

"Edier"

6"x8" oil on canvas

This afternoon I was painting down on the dock in South Freeport, ME. It was great being outside, no beautiful sunshine, but very pleasant temperatures. I started a painting of the little red lobster shack at the end of the fishing float, and got distracted by some eiders as they swam by. I grabbed my camera and took a few shots. Rain drove me from my plein air painting, and I did this one from the display on the back of the camera, a new experience for me.
