Stylized image of a Duck

Here is a miniature painting done from a doodle, adapted into a stand alone painting that may be small but has a big heart.

Although small this painting has a lot to it. The blue sky illuminates the ducks form creating light blue highlights. Note some of the techniques I have been describing in the last few blogs: the shrubbery is done with a golden yellow halo of light, the shadow is deep blue and fades into the grass, and the open space in the grass invites the viewers eye into the composition.
