Mallard is an original abstract painting on canvas by visual artist Shawn McNulty. This painting is is 1.5″ deep, gallery wrapped with painted edges, and ready to hang with wire on the back.

Fun Fact: This painting started to look like a duck, so I did a few small tweaks to complete that feeling. You can see the green head at the top right, and he is flapping his big wings. Many of my animal inspired paintings are in profile and looking toward the right edge. I’m just noticing this now. A male Mallard is called a Drake, just like the Canadian singer-songwriter. The United States Postal Service should use this one for a duck stamp.
