A few weeks ago, a woman in Minneapolis donated a framed print to me for my rubber duck series. The artwork, by Bob Sanders (b. 1950), is a picture of ocean waves crashing into rocks on the shore, measuring 23.5 x 33.5" (framed). I did some research online about the image and one website wrote, "Add tranquility to your home with this beautiful artwork by Bob Sanders. Imagine the waves crashing up against the cliff, hear the sounds of the seagulls, and feel the crisp, cool waves on your face. With this artwork, you can imagine all of that." The original image is titled either 'Tranquil Ocean Scene' or 'Luminous Waves,' but I couldn't find any definite information; those titles might be just broad descriptions.
I painted a large, yellow, rubber duck on the print and returned this 'new' artwork to the Goodwill in West St. Paul (1867 Robert St. S) on 06/16/25, around 12pm.
A successful collaboration!
Thanks Bobby, for your contribution to the work!
