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.
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.
ReplyDeleteducks 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!
Ha! Saves me from googling it! Thanks for the lesson and for the compliments, Dotty!
DeleteLaurie, this is sooooo cute! Nice job on the hand, too!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Terri! The hand was hard. And I will be heading over to see what you're up to!
DeleteWhat a darling painting Laurie. Glad your pup is letting you paint more.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Val! "Darling" works. I like it for this little fella.
DeleteSo fluffy sweet, and I think the hands are awesome!
