I think you did a great job. It's not easy to make it come out realistic without getting gaudy and you did it. Very nice. 8)

Nice job, painting is always a change. I remember painting my first decoy, scared to death. Thought I would ruin it after all the work carving. A wildlife artist friend painted half then I painted the other side. huge learning curve. John
