O.L. Samuels' duck sculpture sits at just six inches tall and can fit in the palm of your hand. The Tallahassee artist painted the duck black with red eyes, giving it a fantastical appearance over naturalistic. Red glitter detailing on the duck's body adds to its' mythical nature and provides a sense of texture.Artwork Details
