Puffin

Puffin  Acrylic on round canvas  13” across

Just a puffin…  I became aware of the plight of the puffin recently & was amazed to learn  about Puffin life - these birds don’t have it easy.  They are actually having a difficult time in Newfoundland with the avian flu as it has killed thousands of sea birds.  I have never seen a Puffin so I thought I’d learn about them as I painted one - they have a clown like appearance; faces with bright colours and a vibrant big beak.  

If you wondered why the price of eggs & chicken is rising, this avian flu is partially to blame as it’s costing farmers more to be vigilant -keeping the avian flu away.  In the spring I read we should keep feeders empty as passing flocks  returning from migration flew overhead, reducing the possibility of  avian flu.  I won’t even buy anymore birds, I think we’ll hatch them from our own little flock, from now on.  

It’s raining out but the ducks don’t mind, the chickens on the other hand don’t enjoy the rain & remain in the coop. The other day I was in the coop then a duck started to flap his wings and it was fascinating! It sounds like a helicopter  & the strength clear all the leaves that were around, the wing span was huge! We only have 7 ducks and this is enough, I think too many would have them feeling crowded over the winter.  I’m curious if the ducks will venture out in the snow.    

I’m hopeful I’ll get to see a live puffin up close & grateful for those that persevere!  I was tempted to have my puffin 'puffin' - but decided not to as I went along, he’s sweet enough just how he is.
