Description
When the Water was Low – Wood Ducks – 11″ x 14″ Art Print
Some mornings feel ordinary — until they aren’t.
On a quiet East Texas lake, the water had receded farther than usual. Fallen trees rose from the surface like weathered sculptures. And for reasons no one could explain, nearly one hundred wood ducks chose that morning to gather there.
Artist Cory James McLaughlin and his son Henry just happened to be standing at the shoreline when it unfolded — a once-in-a-lifetime moment of color, stillness, and awe. It hasn’t looked that way since.
When the Water Was Low – Wood Ducks preserves that rare encounter forever.
🦆 Why This Piece Captivates
Vivid Detail: The brilliant emerald, chestnut, and ivory plumage of the drakes contrasts beautifully with the soft, natural tones of the hens.
Depth & Movement: Exposed timber creates layered dimension, drawing your eye across the composition as if you’re scanning the lake yourself.
Quiet Emotion: Beyond the wildlife, there’s a subtle story of father and son — of being present when something unforgettable happens.
Collector Quality: Published by Thomas Kinkade Studios, each print includes a Certificate of Authenticity with a tamper-evident holographic seal.

Image Notes
This was another special day with Wood Ducks not long after Bird Haven. The Water at our local lake near my house in East Texas was especially low and the fallen trees were exposed and for some reason about 100 Wood Ducks decided it was a good day to visit. My son Henry and I just happened to be there that morning. I haven’t seen it like that since.
