I’m not sure what it is about this painting, but it is one of my favourites. I just set out to play with colour. I had three boards and they were all at different stages of painting and all in different colour palettes. So I put them side by side and just played. Bright colours, drips of paint, splashes and splots – anything that made me happy.

From that mish-mash of colour my friend the duck just emerged. In my mind at least, he is a duck in a hippy caftan channelling his super powers … maybe everyone won’t see that though 🙂

This painting was fun to paint and makes me happy when I look at it. I don’t think I could ask for anything more! Thank you hippy, kaftan wearing, super-hero duck!
