Large Mandarin Duck Sakura Gouache Painting

No AI involved: just old-school art made by Paula Kuitenbrouwer at www.paulakuitenbrouwer.com

This is a very lovely, harmonious, and softly rendered original painting done with coloured pencils/waterpaints, showing a large Sakura (spring-flower) as a 'frame' for a lovely couple of Mandarin ducks.

Inside the sakura shaped form are five chrysanthemums.

This is my best-selling Mandarin duck composition, it captures the essence of love.

Mandarin ducks are symbols of everlasting love, standing close together to affirm their deep bond. The drake (male) dons his stunning bright summer colors, while the female, cloaked in perfect camouflage, shows her own sweet beauty in her cute shape.

In Feng Shui and across Asia, these magnificent birds signify love, lifelong bonding, and unwavering loyalty. Even in their leucistic and albino forms, mandarin ducks remain utterly adorable, radiating charm through their elegant shapes. This is a truly lovely gift for your special someone.

Frame it fitting your interieur design.
