Duck

Yesterday I told you about my 'Warped Duck' picture. Well, I decided to walk my words and put it in paint today:

Once again, this was the 'Warped Duck' image leading up to the painting..:

...Which in turn was derived from the following original, showing the colorful non suspecting unabstracted duck:

In a way, subconsciously, I already sensed the potential painting at the moment I clicked the above picture. I actually remember the intuition and taking the picture for that reason.. which means that the latent painting was already there. It's very interesting how, depending on our sensitivity, an entity like this becomes manifest. Perhaps the painting opens a window on the inner world of duckness?
