Ducks
Ducks is a graceful study in motion and repose, capturing the quiet dignity of waterfowl through fluid brushwork and a soft, neutral palette. Set against a windswept, painterly background, each duck is rendered with lyrical simplicity—subtle curves, feathered strokes, and accents of golden ochre that echo the shimmer of light on water. Whether gliding or resting, the birds evoke calm observation and natural rhythm. This composition invites the viewer into a moment of stillness, where the ordinary becomes poetic and the familiar feels newly seen.
As a color, turquoise is a blend of blue and green, having both cool and calming attributes.

The golden heart symbolizes love and faithfulness supreme within this assuring foundation.
This abstract series is dedicated to Duchess Anna Amalia (1739-1807). As an affluent noble and influential patroness of art and literature, grand-daughter of Frederick the Great of Prussia, Anna Amalia cultivated and supported many of the greatest minds of European theatre—most notably Johann Wolfgang von Goethe and Friedrich Schiller (whose poem “An die Freude” formed the nucleus of Beethoven’s 9th Symphony). As an 18th century inspiration for many women to follow, Anna Amalia founded a theatrical company, was a notable symphonic composer, and endowed a library which is now home to over 1,000,000 volumes.
