By Your Side captures a quiet moment of connection between a mallard and her duckling as they move together across the water. Part of my Wild Bonds Collection, this original watercolor celebrates the instinctive relationships found in nature: the comfort of staying close, being protected, and knowing someone is right there beside you.
Soft reflections and gentle movement in the water surround the pair, while careful detail brings focus to the mallard and her tiny duckling. I wanted the painting to feel peaceful and tender while still capturing the natural beauty of the scene.
Painted on 140 lb cold press, 100% cotton watercolor paper, this original 11x14 watercolor is professionally matted and framed to 16x20, making it ready to display. It arrives carefully packaged with a signed certificate of authenticity.
With its soft natural colors and meaningful subject, By Your Side is a beautiful piece for wildlife lovers, nature-inspired homes, or collectors drawn to artwork that tells a story.

By Your Side was inspired by the quiet bond between a mother and her young. I was drawn to the way the tiny duckling stays close beside the mallard as they move through the water together. There is something so simple and universal in that moment: protection, trust, and companionship.
Through this painting, I wanted to capture not only the beauty of the two ducks, but the feeling behind their connection. By Your Side is a reminder of the comfort found in knowing someone is there beside you.
