I remember this day so perfectly.... my daughter and I met up with one of my former Girl Scouts to visit her college, see her dorm, have lunch and do a little sight-seeing. During our sight seeing excursion we were taken to this little park located in the heart of the hustle and bustle of this city in Delaware. What an amazing landscape this little place had. I took so many pictures that day, but I've only painted one of those scenes since then. Today was the day to capture the ducks! It was such an adorable sight - the ducks all lined up in a row, and at one point they were all facing away from us and we were all scrambling to get pictures of "the duck butts" laughing the whole time.
So in the spirit of our local Waterfowl Festival which will be taking place soon.... I give you my rendition of "the duck butts".
I've been doing a little bit of experimenting with my pastels and color combinations, and have learned that to make greens stand out and have interest, there is a secret..... and that secret is orange! It was time to put the idea to the test. I painted all the areas that had green with an under-painting of bright orange. Most of it got covered up with the following layers of color, but you can still see it in some spots.
