Just Ducky - sold

6"x6" oil on gessoed masonite artboard

I don't know what it is about sunlight on a white duck..... or it could be this one's personality?! This duck lives just around the corner from us, and every morning on our walk there he is, waiting to greet us. He does have a pen, but in the morning, he is also out for HIS walk. He actually has the run of his part of the neighborhood. We have wondered how he hasn't been eaten by dogs, hit by a car, etc. he's been like this for years. If you walk by and ignore him, he lets you know he's insulted - and will not shut up until you say hello and make a general fuss over him. And how do we address him? Usually it's Mr. Duck, but when he's particularly amusing, it's "Ducky!"
