I came across these three, two weeks ago, whilst on a walk past the lovely little Coalport Canal Basin in the Severn Gorge; I was totally engrossed as I watched them rushing round, trying to take in all that they could see, much of it still new to them, while their mother managed to make herding cats look easy! It was a joyful celebration of life, and our beautiful, but fragile planet; and that's what I tried to convey in this painting; enjoy! Love and God bless, Andy 🙂🙏

Absolutely beautiful, you have caught the true essence of nature and wildlife. The vibrancy of the pastel shades depicting the ripples made by the ducklings. Really shows the movement of the water. Utterly mesmerising, Andy, so well done. 🤗❤️xxx

How cute is this? Love the swirling water and the concentric rippling. The two little ducks are like two naughty children, impatient to escape. A delightful, positive, painting so pleasing to the eye Andrew. God bless 🌞🌞🌞

Can anyone help me understand why this painting is suddenly getting shedloads of views, after going very quiet? Lovely situation but no obvious reason why?

I’ve always loved water, its movement, its colour, its power. I had the privilege of working as a hydrologist for nine years before ordination, necessarily but enjoyably observing the movement of water in full flow or even in floods. That was thirty years ago but my love for moving water has not…
