Framed size 20" x 16", with non reflective glass. I have to say this was one of the most enjoyable paintings to paint, I love these little ducks, they are one of our smallest resident ducks and extremely attractive. I was lucky enough to get close to several of these little characters on a recent trip to Pensthorpe. SOLD at the Tendring Show.
Teals are small dabbling ducks. Males have chestnut coloured heads with broad green eye-patches, a spotted chest, grey flanks and a black edged yellow tail. Females are mottled brown. Both show bright green wing patches in flight. Read more.....RSPB Teal
The painting is on Cold Press, extra heavy, off white Crescent art board and I aim to produce the finest detail in both the subject and its natural setting. The shade of the Daler mountboard is carefully selected depending on the painting, as is the toning of the frame itself.
