About the painting
I was taking photographs in the snow recently when I came across a group of ducks paddling in the water. They passed right underneath the bridge where I was standing.
As soon as I saw them, I knew I wanted to paint a picture of them.
I had fun with the painting and used Saran Wrap to add textures and layers to the water -- I laid down a layer of paint, and while still wet, placed crinkled Saran Wrap on top, then let it dry overnight. When I pulled up the Saran Wrap, it created all of these cool shades and shapes.
From there, I added details to the ducks and shading to the water, and brought together my painting of the ducks that swam past me.
