Irresistable Iridescence-Mallard Duck

Close ups

Oil on 6x6 canvas panel.

This is my contribution to this week's WDE at Wet Canvas. Elaine was the great host. Thanks for the terrific reference photos, Elaine.

I had to have a go at the colorful iridescent greenhead.
I tried to be real generous with the paint on this one. I plopped down paint with my painting knife, and then tried to direct the texture with a brush without the brush removing the thickness I wanted to retain.

Momma Knows-Duck And Ducklings

Close ups

Oil on 5x7 hardboard.

This is for WDE at Wet Canvas. Bonnie supplied a selection of photos from which to choose.

I picked momma mallard and ducklings. I'm always fascinated how parents in the natural world are so successful in raising their young. We humans seriously need to sit down and take notes.
The duck and her babes were pretty widely scattered in the photo. I had to gather the family together for their portrait.
