When I first painted this duck I was thinking of it as a welcome to holiday guests, now that it is completed the thought came to me that we have so much to welcome into our lives. In addition to family groups, Fall, upcoming holidays and celebrations, even our day-to-day routine that keeps us on track can be welcomed as we settle into the new adventures our day will bring.
For this project, I used acrylic paints for the floral designs and all the parts that are not black. The duck base itself was finished in slate type paint to be used as chalkboard.
Now this little decorative painted duck is ready to ‘welcome’ us to breathe, sit, and have a cup of coffee or tea for a moment of rest.
