This Little Iron Duck is one of a pair that I inherited from my Father. This piece lives in my bookcase where he works hard at holding up books. Years ago, I displayed the pair together on the coffee table but one of the them is not quite balanced right. When anyone accidentally bumped the table the duck would tip over, do a nose dive and kerplunk, another dent in the coffee table. My husband hated them because they were always falling, but looking at them makes me laugh.

Artist Note:
I started out toning my canvas with black which gave me a darker undertone in this piece. I used the same 2 books in my setup with the exception that I placed the black book on on top. This caused a problem and I felt the dark color was too dominating so I changed the color by adding a light blue alternating with a reddish purple.
I like the shadows on the wall to. Lots of movement in this one, Marie.
ReplyDeleteThanks Julie. I had trouble with my choices of color for this painting, but I finally got the right mix I think.
ReplyDeleteHi Maria - thanks for the visit to my blog. This little iron duck looks just that, made of iron! I love it and the shadows it created! You are getting some good mileage out of those books, too! Nice work!
