Gary Lawrence Red-breasted Merganser Drake

Gary Lawrence (1940-2024) Binghamton, NY c.2000's 16" long

Avid carving competitor starting at the Ward Worlds in the late 1970's, Gary would go on to win many ribbons and compete all over the Eastern, U.S. Capturing realism in his works, this merganser is in a common seen life-like swimming pose. The paint is nicely done with deep vermiculation on the sides and wrapping around the back below the slightly raised wings. The head has a skyward gaze with the crest flowing into the body of the bird.

Condition: Mint
