FEEDING THE DUCKS Acrylic on Canvas | 30" × 40"


She has her back to us. The ducks do not.

There is something quietly cinematic about Feeding the Ducks — the pale, washed-out stillness of a winter morning, a figure in a dark coat and heels standing in a yard that feels half-remembered, the bare tree reaching across the white sky like a signature. The ducks press forward in a crowd of dark feathers and purpose, indifferent to the cold, indifferent to everything except what comes next.

The palette is almost entirely stripped back — whites, pale pinks, the blue-grey of shadow on snow — punctuated by the deep navy and black of the figure and her birds. It has the quality of a photograph found in a drawer. Someone's grandmother, perhaps. Someone's childhood. Someone's yard on a morning that felt ordinary at the time and significant ever after.

Feeding the Ducks is understated in the best possible way. A painting that rewards the person who stops in front of it rather than the one who walks quickly past. Melancholic without being sad. Quiet without being empty. The kind of work that fits a room the way a good book fits an afternoon.

FAQ

Do you ship internationally?

Yes. We offer free shipping on most works, with shipping costs (when applicable) never exceeding 10% of the piece's price. Large canvases ship rolled in a professional tube; oversized works requiring special packaging may be an exception, and we're happy to provide a quote. International collectors are responsible for any duties and taxes upon arrival.

Can I receive my painting already stretched and framed?

Large works ship rolled by default for safety in transit. If you'd prefer your piece delivered already on stretcher bars, contact us before purchasing for a separate shipping quote at your own expense. If you're interested in framing, reach out to claire@clairepriceartist.com to discuss your vision — we're happy to provide quotes and mockups to help you visualize the finished piece.

What if I'm not happy with my purchase?

Returns are accepted within 30 days of receiving the work. Choosing an artwork is a deeply personal experience, and we'll do our best to help place the right piece in your home — if something isn't right, contact us immediately and we'll try to facilitate an exchange or, if necessary, a refund. For returns, the client is responsible for the cost of shipping and insuring the piece back to us; once it arrives safely, a full refund is issued minus shipping and related expenses.

Is each piece truly one of a kind?

Yes — every original is a unique, one-of-one work, signed by the artist on the front and/or back, and shipped with a certificate of authenticity establishing provenance. The artist retains all copyright to the image, and reserves the right to reproduce it as prints or use it in future projects, at her discretion.

Do you take custom commissions?

Occasionally, by inquiry. Commission pricing is calculated at $4.50 per square inch, with a 50% non-refundable deposit required to begin. Contact us to discuss your piece and confirm availability.
