Description
Drifter,a Canadian goose, is a cherished visitor here in Maine. This particular one was traversing the wetlands along the Androscoggin River in South Rumford,Maine; obviously he was enjoying the scenery while making his way to the mountains out yonder. A digital art rendition was created by utilizing several recent photographs through a combination of overlays and opacity adjustments, then reworking with textures and colors in Photoshop. The Canadian Honker, or goose, seemed to mimic the confusion felt on the day this piece was finally finished. Having enjoyed so many different interpretations internally I could certainly write a book on it, if only time permitted. In search of the truth would be just one to play out. As you ponder this work you may find many different roles for this charming feathered friend. He is big and bold, and he is heading your way. Copyright 2015 Michael D. Breau. All Rights Reserved

I was so delighted to find the "Drifter" in the Bird contest... It is a favorite... F/L & Voting
Indio, CA - United States
OH... yes... oils are used rarely here in summer... well, fixing failed attempts as masterpieces as yours above.. but it is mostly watercolor since it is less toxic. Air conditioning is 24-7 here in the summer... except today it is 85 and raining. : ) Palm Springs is best in the Winter.
Mike Breau replied:
Went through Palm Springs in February about 20 years ago- Beautiful area, was tempted to stick around awhile. Lots of nice people, Your works are beautiful and as long as you have alternate means of expression, it doesn't matter-You still get to create and share beauty, and that in itself is always a blessing to be proud of. Just keep up your great work; enjoy and share the precious bounty of your surroundings :)

This is such a favorite.. Congratulations on your top finish in the Best Composition Contest... This won my heart when I first spied this goose. : ) perfectly done. Voted of course.
Mike Breau replied:
Thank you so much for your return visits and beautiful support Maria!!! This has remained one of my favorites that I so far put up-I am so busy and will be so happy when I have the opportunity to put up a few more that I feel strongly about and hope garnish lots of attention.
Indio, CA - United States
Thanks for the response.... This, and your capture of clouds and sunsets are fantastic. Please find more time in the field... right about sunset... you have a talent for fabulous composition.
Mike Breau replied:
Many thanks Maria for your wonderful visits and generous comments. Such songs of encouragement form such a talented artist as yourself is a great blessing. Hope you're air conditioner can keep up with your oils, or do you retire to watercolor for the summer. Palm Springs is just a nice place to "cool it" for the summer..
