Ducks on the Pond

Ducks on the Pond

Ducks on the Pond – A visit to McCray’s farm in South Hadley, MA, gave me inspiration for this one as we watched the ducks swimming in their pond. This white duck with Einstein-like feathers swam across, while the mallards looked on. I snapped a bunch of photos that served as reference for this painting. Painted on upholstery fabric, the pattern helps establish the swirl of the water, while also echoing the feeling of duck’s feathered plume.

The painting measures 16″x20″ and is acrylic painting on stretched upholstery fabric.
