Lucky Duck

                                  6x6 Bid on this Painting

This is the DPW Challenge of the week: Reflections on Water. I submitted the idea inspired by a photo I took in Bend, Oregon this fall when the yellow leaves were everywhere. This duck and his buddies were enjoying the beautiful autumn day on a golden pond.

This 30x40 canvas was one I originally painted in 2004. It's quintessential Seattle! I always liked the composition, but it was not very well painted. I have learned a lot since2004, and so I used the original as an under painting and proceeded to paint over the whole thing. I strengthened the values and the edges on the tugboats, especially the smaller one, and kept the edges softer and the values closer together on the more distant buildings.
