9″x12″ acrylic, 2010. Emma is away at camp, but when she returns this week, this painting will be hanging in her room as a suprise from her parents! Emma’s mother Jennifer commissioned this portrait of “Duckie,” who I suspect might actually be a pelican… he’s a little ambiguous, but I love how kids see what they want to see in their toys! Below is a watercolor study I did from another of the many great photos Jennifer sent. I tucked it into the package as well — I intend to send any studies I make along with the main paintings from now on as a little bonus!
