Dear Everyone:
I am very driven by aesthetic beauty.
I bought an illustrated book of Birds
and one of the first birds featured
was the Mandarin Duck. It may
be the most attractive bird I have
ever seen and I had to paint it.
Named after the colourful rich robes
of civil servants in China
the colours and plummage
are truly spectacular.
They reside mostly in China,
Japan and Siberia and
perch/roost in trees hence
they can be found in forrest
habitats.
They are related to Wood Ducks
which can be found in North America.
Truly a glorious bird.
Hope that you enjoy this
image.
Helen.
