Oil on board. This is my own modern take on the eternal topic. The alternative name, The Duck, was suggested by my two kids who, while I was clumsily pretending to be a carpenter, said it looked like a duck. I had neither the nerve nor audacity to reassure them. I believe this is the best thing I've painted so far, and I am immensely proud of it. This composition took over 6 months to finish, involved numerous false starts and revealed new and unexpected turns every step of the way. In the end, it basically painted itself.
