My most memorable interaction with Hooded Mergansers was photographing them at the Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge in Florida. I was at a conference in Orlando and would drive out the refuge in the evening to take photos. Lucky for me, there were beautiful ducks hiding among the mangroves and I spent my evenings photographing them for a future painting. This is the original painting so there is only one. It’s painted in acrylic on a 1 1/2” thick gallery wrapped canvas and the scene continues on the edges for a very finished look. No framing is needed, but if you like frames it can also be framed. The size of this piece is 12” x 16”.
