| In the year 2002, I entered the Federal Duck Stamp Art Contest for the 30th time. In previous years, I had come close to winning the contest, but had never been fortunate enough to take first place. This time, I decided to go for broke, spending nearly six months on my entry in 2002. With the aid of computer software, I created over 500 preliminary compositions in search of the unbeatable image. I tried every composition imaginable, referring to thousands of photographs I had taken of wetland habitats and waterfowl over the past 30 years. Fortunately, I found the right composition this time with this majestic painting of light. Now that I have accomplished my goal of winning the Federal Contest, I can move on to other things, such as painting creative pictures for wall hangings and fine art purposes. I have done very little of that over the past 20 years because of my preoccupation with and passion to compete in duck stamp contests. |
