16. Eur Duck

$100.00

Eur, Italy

My boyfriend's Italian family lives in Eur, and during one visit, we went for a walk together as he told me stories about his relatives. It felt a little like walking through his memories.

We passed a small park with water and spotted this very proud-looking duck parading beside the pond. I managed to take a photograph just before we had to walk away because he was quacking so loudly.

He had somewhere to be, apparently, and we were clearly in his way.

I loved his attitude. He looked so self-important, and I knew I wanted to paint him. So here he is: the Eur Duck, forever carrying on with his business.
