Krystii Melaine - Afloat - Ring-Necked Duck

Krystii Melaine Afloat - Ring-Necked Duck oil on cradled birch panel 36h x 36w in 91.44h x 91.44w cm melt019 $ 4,900 This smartly dressed Ring-necked duck floats quietly on the water’s surface, making barely a ripple. His bold black and white plumage is a focal point in a gentle expanse of soft greens and grays. Living high on the banks of our little river, I see ducks from above most of the time, so this vantage point is natural to me. The effects they have on the water and how the ripples reflect the surroundings provide me with endless abstract patterns to explore in paint.
