| Rub-a-dub-Duckie Canvas Paintings started as a way to creatively express my affection for rubber duckies. Enjoying rubber duckies as a small child, my liking for them grew as I grew. As a big kid, I was given my first rubber duckie as a present about two years ago. Since then I've started collecting rubber duckies and rubber duckie paraphernalia. Those who have seen my bathroom you can attest to the fact that it's pretty 'ducked out.' Rub-a-dub-Duckie Canvas Paintings take my enjoyment of duckies to the next level. Using actual rubber duckies as my subject matter, I have painted various scenes for the duckies to play on. Whether it's swimming in the ocean, playing squash, or flying to the moon, if you like rubber duckies, these "off the wall" paintings are sure to 'quack' you up! |

Please note, some images contain white areas. This is because the duck is swimming off the canvas. The white wall looks slightly odd in these photos, but in real life gives dimension to the painting.
