These are painted in brown tones. These tend toward the cooler tones. Each generic carving comes with a driftwood base. The painting patterns vary. Matt likes to do these spontaneous carvings as a break from the demanding accuracy he usually is involved with.
Some clients prefer a less conventional pose, like the one shown to the left.
Matt can please whatever preference you have in the way of pose, form, color, size, length and shape of bill, length of neck, degree of carved detail, degree of accuracy to a particular species, type of base , or whatever else you may want. If you really want to go rustic and inexpensive, consider Matt's rustic shorebirds. Shown below, they are singed with a torch and waxed to give them a very unusual and warm patina. Each is mounted on a piece of driftwood. Let Matt know which you prefer.
