You may have received an email from me about the commissioned work I am doing. I am all about painting things that I feel connected to. With commissioned work, I actually DO the connecting between your photo and the expression of it in a painterly way. I hope to create something personal and meaningful. That makes me happy. I feel connected.
And then there were ducks.
I think ducks are beautiful. I like to eat ducks which my husband hunts so sportsmanly and cooks so deliciously. I have never particularly felt CONNECTED to ducks. But I do now.
It began with mercenary marketing. I’m an artist. It was hunting season. It was Christmas. What would sell. Somebody said “how about ducks”. OK
To my delight and surprise, I really enjoy painting them. But uber sized. And a little loose. And always with a sense of humor.
