Here is a colorful young Carolina duck, also called a wood duck, but he hasn’t quite grown his impressive headdress yet. Still, he has stunning feathers and eye colors.

That just gave me the idea for next month — I’ll paint a close up of the adult male to track the progression of its cool hairdo (feather-do?). I can’t believe how the summer is flying by and hope yours has been great so far!
Beautiful painting, Carol! I’m looking forward to next month’s feather-do! π
I think summer has already flown…
Ducks can be so beautiful…this one complements the water perfectly! (K)
Thanks, Kerfe! Happy Sunday!
Thanks, Myr π¦ π
Interesting shading in both the water and the duck!
Beautiful, Carol! ππ¦π
Like its colorful beak and green head – Look forward to seeing more of your duck paintings, Carol! π¦π I havenβt painted very many ducks. They are an interesting subject indeed! π
Lovely! I look forward to seeing next month’s feathery progression. π
Quack! π π¦
Thanks, Patty Anne! π₯°
Thanks, Julie!
Carol, your watercolors always astound me.
Some of them look so realistic. Can’t wait to be able to accomplish that.
Thanks so much for your kind comments, Gwen! Keep at it and youβll get there! π¨ π
