Surreal to think that it’s been 10 years this month since I won the Federal Duck Stamp! My acrylic painting of a pair of Ruddy Ducks went on to be made into the 2015-16 Stamp. Looking back at it a decade later is still pretty weird. To celebrate, a few small things! (continued)

Acrylic painting of a pair of ruddy ducks swimming in a lake with some low hills in the background. The front duck is a drake with rufus reddish coloring overall, a stiff black tail sticking up, a dark eye, a striking black and white head, and a weird bright blue bill. Behind him, the hen is mottled brown and cream, with a cheek stripe and cap of brown, and a blackish bill. The watermark reads: 2015- 2016 Federal Duck Stamp, Art copyright 2014 Jennifer Miller, featherdust dot com
A digital image of the 2015-2016 Federal Duck Stamp. The stamp with a perforated edge design, shows a reproduction of an artist's rendition of two ruddy ducks swimming in a lake with subtle hills in the background. The stamp has a denomination of $25 in the upper left, and below it is labeled with the following information: ruddy ducks, U.S. Department of the Interior, Void after June 30, 2016. At the bottom in bold text it reads: Migratory Bird Hunting And Conservation Stamp.
The peel-and-stick type stamp with a carrier card that has more art and text information. The card shows a scene of two ruddy duck drakes swimming in Great Lakes habitat, with Emerald Shiner fish, bullrush, and a black tern flying. The text reads: U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service. 2015-2016 Migratory Bird Hunting and Conservation Stamp. The habitats protected with Federal Duck Stamp dollars benefit hundreds of species the need wetlands to feed, breed, and rest. In some of the same salt marshes and shallow waters where you'll find ruddy ducks, you may also glimpse the Ridgway's rail, a grayish-brown, chicken-sized bird with a long, curving bill and a conspicuous white rump. Once abundant in California's wetlands, the Ridgeway's rail fell to near extinction as wetlands were altered or developed. Your Duck Stamp purchase directly helps to protect habitat that is key to the survival of the Ridgeway's rail and other rare species. Artist: Jennifer Miller. Ruddy Duck.

I can only assume this led to a lot of champagne, limo rides, vast personal wealth, etc
