The goosander

Description

Deviantart is amazingly healthy for my inspiration. More or less one month ago I stumbled upon this wonderful gallery [link] by Ursulav. As it happened with my English ivy [link] , seeing Ursulav's wondrous art, coupled with a dream filled night and a memory of my favourite painting ever (Klimt's Danae), compelled me to paint a klimtish-danaeish animal.

This time's victim is a duck, known in Europe as goosander and beyond the Atlantic as common merganser: done with temperas and acrylic (the golden part).
Unfortunately the original drawing is a bit wobbly and my camera flash hid most of the golden effect... :(

PS As far as permission is concerned, I already wrote to the "idea owner" two weeks ago, but she hasn't considered me yet. Consent by silent: I allowed myself to post it. ;)
