Painting is fun, therapeutic and rewarding. Earl Duck feels a sense of adventure when visualizing a new project, almost as if planning a journey to an unfamiliar place. “God gives us creative power to positively touch other people, and it is rewarding when they tell me that I did.  It is great fun to study beautiful things for long periods of time.  The time spent in the quietness of painting has a calming and therapeutic effect on my life.”

All of His paintings are done in oils and on stretched canvas. He is attracted to oil painting because of the rich colors and the workability that it allows. Earl does a wide variety of subjects because it allows him to grow because his interests vary.

“Painting humbles me because the subjects become more elusive as I progress.  The deeper the study, the more intricate and complex things appear.  In the midst of it all I see things that would normally be overlooked in a casual glance. These continual observations invite me to appreciate creation and it would be to a lesser extent if not for the privilege of painting.”
