Self Portrait - Scowl on Duck

© 1980 Michelle Scott
This is a painting I did about 20 years ago. I painted it from a photo my dad had taken of me when I was about 4 or 5. I am sitting in a duck shaped "rocker" ... I guess you could call it a "Rocking Duck." My dad made it out of a couple sheets of ply and then painted it a bright yellow.. but then later on when I "inherited it" from my older brother and sister it was painted with a new coating of blue... A Blue Duck you ask? Well why not? I guess that's the color paint they had on hand... Anyway... The photo was a B&W shot, but I could remember the colors and the images in detail as if it was just yesterday... And yes... I still have the same scowl...but I think I tend to smile more these days...(smile)

This is beautiful--and your color selection--NICE! Really quite eye catching and brings out a smile from the viewer. :) I think you just didn't like being interupted while on the duck-ride! Wonderful work! -Kerra
