who else wants to paint a duck?

It seems every spring, I start painting animals and flowers... Not that I don't paint animals other times of the year, but the intensity of my painting creatures definitely picks up around March. Early in the month, I started working on this duck painting. When I first start off with my mixed media creations, I often have no concept of what the subject will be. I start with my feelings. Feelings Dictate ColorsWhat I mean, is that I start with layers of the background and let my feelings dictate the colors. While I was working on this piece, the only early decisions I had made were to use printed napkins with Faberge eggs. Since the end of this March is also Easter... at first I thought I would do a bunny on top. Until I considered that that ducks lay eggs, not rabbits. |

Here is the finished painting of The Imperial Duck. I titled it the imperial duck since Faberge is a trademarked name to describe these ornate eggs created for the Imperial family.Collect the ArtWant to own this painting?
