Loons

This frame was made from a weathered 2 x 4 piece of driftwood I found.  The wood was painted black and then I painted my interpretation of the plummage on a common loon, the top being the neck area.  The photos are all common loons taken on various lakes on the Whitefish chain of lakes near Crosslake, Minn.  The photos appear washed out because I took this photo outside on a bright sunny day.  

 Dimensions are approximate.

The frame is about 18 by 20 inches, the photos are about 4 by 5 inches.
