Mallard Duck, Old Birdlover's Watercolor drawing of birds One sees great old hat

One sees great old hat forms around from time to time

Small cube is solid

but the bristles are in great shape and it remains a very lovely and useful thing

magical feeling

especially to the creamy white

Mallard Duck, Old Birdlover's Watercolor drawing of birds One sees great old hatA few more this week from a larger set of wonderful old naive watercolors birds, done by someone long ago who clearly loved their birds. With carefully handwritten in capital letters attributions on each that I think makes them extra good. I have to think the Mallard held a special place in the heart of the maker, given a watery background with tree, and painterly grass underfoot, that distinguishes it a bit from the others. Lovely. 6 1 8" x 4 1 2"
