HIDDEN POND—MALLARDS
MEET THE ARTIST
Persis Clayton Weirs
Persis had no formal training in art, but rather she developed her skills through close observation of the animals and wildlife around her home. She began drawing as a child, concentrating mainly on horses and expanding to include the wide variety of animals such as dogs, cats, raccoons, birds, fox and many others. “Drawing and painting them was unavoidable,” she said. Her father also taught his children how to identify and appreciate the characteristics and beauty of the animals and their surrounding habitat.

TIMELESS HOME DECOR
A mile deep into the woods behind our home is a beautiful shallow pond. It is home to beavers, eagles, cattails, frogs and a rotating population of ducks who live in quiet, undisturbed, natural serenity. - OR - “This painting was completed in the spring, when our pond was full of mallards–flying in and out while courting; before they dispersed to nest.”
