A single duck glides toward you across a calm pond, painted in thick palette-knife oils that build the water into sculpted ridges of jade, slate and cream. Broad troweled strokes catch dramatic side light, so every peak of impasto throws its own shadow while the bird rests whole and still, bill low, wings folded. Expressive and textural, it brings quiet movement and luminous colour to any wall.
