Short Description
Earlier this year I visited Colleges Crossing in Ipswich, right on the boundary of Brisbane. It is a place I often return to, quiet, full of life, and bathed in beautiful morning light. I find it perfect for collecting reference material for my artwork and photography, so I arrived just after dawn, camera in hand, hoping to find something special.
As I wandered quietly along the water’s edge, I noticed a tiny duckling waddling towards the stream. Concerned, I looked around, only to be comforted by the sight of the mother duck close by. I quickly took cover among the bushes and waited, knowing this moment had potential for something beautiful.
Then came the surprise. Eight more ducklings appeared, trailing behind their mother in perfect formation. It felt like nature had gifted me a rare and tender moment. I captured hundreds of reference photos in that golden light before gently retreating to avoid disturbing them any further.
The final painting “Nurturing Mother” is a harmonious composition drawn from my imagination, shaped by the emotions I felt in that moment and rendered realistically using the reference photos I captured.
The artwork is painted on stretched linen canvas, framed in a high quality black satin finish float frame, and ready to hang. The sides of the canvas are painted as a continuation of the scene, giving the piece a seamless immersive quality.
