Puddle Ducks
Puddle ducks are the most graceful, elegant and colorful birds we have in North America. They fill duck hunters dreams with vibrant flashes and speedy flight. I try to capture these hallmarks with each stroke of the brush.
Pictured below you will find examples of my hand carved puddle duck Decoys. Many reside in private collections, but just as many are being utilized by discerning sportsman out in the field. If you see something that catches your eye please feel free to reach out to me about information on placing a commission.
