A male mallard duck in flight against a misty autumn sky, rendered in loose watercolor strokes. The duck's iridescent green head, brown chest, and gray wing feathers blend with splashes of color. A brown leather hunting license tag hangs from the duck's neck, indicating it is during hunting season. Water droplets splash around the duck, creating a sense of movement through rippling effects in the paint. Traditional watercolor painting technique with visible brush strokes and wet-on-wet effects on textured paper.
