Description
It was a brisk but spring-like February afternoon in Monterey, CA. and I was tagging along with my husband who was attending a workshop for educators. Near the hotel where we were staying was a wonderful pond and the habitat for many species of birds and water fowl, which I busied myself by photographing. This pair of mallards swam together all around the pond that afternoon, evoking a sense of peacefulness in me as I just focused on the two of them. In attempting the painting, it was important to me that I recreate the almost creamy appearance of the sunlight on the water, a true-to-life representation of the mallards, and their easily visible reflections. The essence of the painting is to share with the viewer the beauty of these creatures, their relationship, and a sense of the peacefulness found in nature that day.
