“Osaka Ducks” is a wildlife painting by Jane Beisell of Left Brain Creative, inspired by ducks I watched on a trip to Osaka, Japan. Three wild ducks glide across a quiet pond: two drakes with rich chestnut-red heads and soft gray bodies, and a third farther back near the reeds. The water shifts through layers of sage, moss, and olive green, giving the whole scene a calm, unhurried feel. In the original watercolor on canvas, the plants along the water’s edge are real pressed botanicals. This print reproduces them in a smooth, flat finish.  It’s a gentle, contemplative piece for a study, cabin, or any bird lover’s wall. 🦆 🌿

Pairs beautifully with “Mallard at Rest” and “Nature’s Palette: The Mandarin Duck”!

Inspiration for this painting:  This painting is a compilation of ducks we photographed while visiting the Osaka Castle in Osaka, Japan in 2023.  We viewed a wide variety of fowl feeding in the moat-like lake surrounding the castle with stunning colors -- both the birds and the fall foliage -- on display.
