Canadian geese

I did these two paintings starting with the one on the left. They are of Canadian geese on a lake at dawn in Kansas City, inspired from a photo that my friend took.

Both paintings are done on 8x10'' stretched canvas. The one on the left I did first on one evening, by artificial light, by mistake mixing oils and acrylic paint, though with no visible adverse affects! I wasn't so keen on the very bright and orangey hues, so painted another using more blues and subtle colours, this time by natural light and solely using oil paints.

Now done, I am not sure which painting I like best as there are things I like and don't like about both..hey maybe I'll have another go! :)
