Description
When I was a kid I read somewhere that the Wood Duck (Aix sponsa) is the most beautiful duck in North America. I am not sure how one measures beauty, as it is indeed in the mind of the beholder; I love to paint all waterfowl species and find them extremely pleasing, visually, all of them. I was inspired to do add the frog by seeing two similar scenes in the wild. One was a Wood Duck being stocked by a Northern Watersnake, whose head, alone, showed above the water. The other was the sight of a pair of Mallards sharing a log with a Painted Turtle. But I chose a Leopard Frog emerging from the water, as if pondering the two ducks. Wood Ducks are found throughout much of temperate North America. The painting is approximately life size, in acrylics, on compressed hardboard. Price (including frame): $900.00 Size: Approximately 15 X 21 inches (plus frame)
