there are some dark marks visible on the white glaze

Six pages total

I have been unable to easily open the flaxseed

with just minor light spotting to the silk around the edges here and there

Mallard Duck, Old Birdlover's Watercolor men talking there are some dark marksA 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"
