Adult Mallard

Surrounded by these beautiful graceful animals, I have always been intrigued by them. I never could bring myself to paint one, to many failed attempts left me timid. I thought to myself, "Self, you know you can do it...so what if the others look like a blob of feathers...try it again!". Taking my own advice, eliminating my internal "editor", I took my pencil, and performed my first bird of flight masterpiece! AHHH...the feeling of accomplishment cannot be surpassed. I think I am finding that I work better on a larger scale. Kudos to all those beautiful flying animals that have inspired me to paint this...pray that the powers that be keep my paint flowing :)
This is painted with Gouache on coldpress paper and measures 18in. X 24in. PRINTS AVAILABLE
