Hold Me

I found this little guy at our local farmer's market. There was a whole group of baby ducks. I don't know what a group of ducks is called. Not a gaggle, not a flock, I can google it, but might just wait to see if it comes to me first. What a concept! Anyways, I cropped it really close, and the big challenge immediately became apparent: AHHHH...hands! No! Say it ain't so! But nothing beats practice. So I practiced. And it was fun! Little Luddie is starting to let mom paint more often. Photos coming soon of a beautiful Golden Retriever growing up.

  1. Laurie, this soft bright little singleton is just the CUTEST! I love the way the colors and brushstrokes of your background bring your painting to life.

    ducks in flight: a flock
    ducks in water: a raft, a team, or a paddling
    ducks on ground: a brace, a badling
    duckling in hand: a skinny-necked fluff of cuteness!
