Post 314: Duck Landing and Swan Incoming Minis

Duck Landing and Swan Incoming Minis

In a recent trip to North Carolina to visit a friend, I enjoyed sitting out on their wonderful 'extended living room' deck and watching the water, the pier, clouds and birds. The birds were especially fun to watch. Some traveling in groups - one right after the other, some raising their families.

Also, note that in my Etsy Shop, I am currently having a sale of 10% off anything $50 or up! June 28- July 10, 2023.

Painting Name: Duck Landing Mini

SKU: 06AT23ACM
Medium: Acrylic
Size: 3x4 Mini Stretched Canvas with Mini Easel
Edition Year: 2023


Duck Landing and Swan Incoming are inspired by a recent vacation in North Carolina. These images were very close to finished when the picture was taken.

Every morning, we had to watch for the duck family. Upon arrival Mom Duck had 5 babies. The next day, only 4. But the babies following their mom around and their antics were so cute. 

And there were what we called "the teenagers". We wondered what the story was on these ducklings that wandered about every day on their own, but had no mom. They were a number of weeks older than the other batch of wee ducklings, but they were on their own.

Watching the birds that "fished" were also interesting to watch, and hear. Suddenly you would hear a large splash and see whatever bird dived in for their breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Also, the bird landings...flying in low and SPLASH! Gliding in for stop.

My plan is to do a few water and bird paintings inspired by flight, swim, and landings on the water.

The painting in progress post is at https://donnascavepainting.blogspot.com/2021/12/post-219-pink-parasol.html - and this one was a serious case of "in progress". I painted over her face at least 3 times.

What do you think? Or should I call it aliens in a rowboat?

About this Painting…
I was thinking about asking my Facebook and Twitter fans to "name a painting". That could be fun at some point to do. A contest! Makes me think if there would be any interest in it. I wonder how many would have suggested "Swan Lake" for this one.




A mountain painting with the sun rising through a gap in the mountains, a lake with a single swan pictured. The sky is all shades of yellow, pink, orange, white, blues, greys and lavender.
