Acrylic on canvas,20" x 40" Three ducks swimming in canal, very seriously as if intent on getting someplace. Interestingly, 2 males and 1 female between the males. Also, there was a beautiful reflection in the canal, but their wake was eradicating it, as if that was their intentention. Such interesting and fun scenes are so frequent in The Netherlands, if you have time just to walk or bike around keeping an eye out. Best of all for me was the beautiful reigers -- much like USA blue herons. My appreciation to Marcy Ayanian, California, who now owns this painting!

Tourists always see the wooden shoes, tulips and mills, but this is the real view on Holland. Ducks in water, always busy and yes whatever they're doing they do it seriously, always paddling in the third gear :). It's a lovely painting, especially with the V in it, Mrs. Marcy will sure enjoy it very much!
