Description
Pacific Black Ducks are a common sight in Australia. Being considered another "boring brown bird" by some, I wanted to prove that a common, "plain", species may indeed be an object of great beauty and interest.
This painting was a finalist in the inaugural Waterhouse Natural History Art Prize 2003. It was also the winner of the WABA Wildlife Art Award 2005, and received a Highly Commended award at the Wildlife Art @ Discovery 2007 exhibition.

Indeed you have taken the common to produce something completely uncommon. Congratulations on all your achievements that I read in your comment area. Excellent work.

This is extremely beautiful, if the pelican was your first effort at water (and I think 56 hours is going well!) then your mastery has really reached something that must satisfy you.
