White Duck Spirit Ascending

“This white duck ascends from water into air, moving gracefully between elements and worlds. The upward motion becomes a quiet metaphor for transformation, suggesting a moment of awakening where instinct, movement and spirit rise together. Through fluid splashes and drifting washes of paint, the work reflects the gentle power of transition — a reminder that growth often begins with the courage to rise.” ~ Leni Kae

This watercolour & mixed media artwork of a white duck with wings outstretched is from Leni Kae’s series Animal Spirit. A2 in size (Fits in standard A2 Frame, or add Bluethumb framing for professional framing).
