Vintage "Refuge" Original Oil Painting by A. McLaughlin, Mallards in Flight

An original oil painting titled "Refuge" by artist A. McLaughlin that captures the tranquil beauty of a lakeside morning. Features a pair of mallard ducks—a drake and a hen—descending toward a calm body of water. The artist’s use of soft, dappled light through the trees and gentle reflections on the water creates a peaceful, naturalistic atmosphere.

Executed with expressive brushwork, the painting showcases a masterful play of light and texture, typical of mid-to-late 20th-century wildlife art. It comes housed in its original, substantial multi-tiered wooden frame, which features an elegant combination of deep wood tones and a textured linen-style inner border (fillet) that adds depth and vintage character.

Includes a Certificate of Authentication on the reverse confirming the title "Refuge" and the artist's signature.
