The Wood Duck

After seeing the little watercolour ducks I'd painted (see "Quack" post for photos) my mums boss asked if she thought I could paint wood ducks, she just loves wood ducks and who can blame her, they are so beautiful!
So my gorgeous mother commissioned me to paint one for her as a gift. Now, I don't think Mrs. M follows my blog so it's pretty safe to post a picture of the painting here without ruining the surprise...

So here it is. The Wood Duck. Oil on linen panel. 26 x 28cm. 2012.
