In order to achieve his desired effect, Duecker relied on traditional oil paint and brushed with a classical application.
He exhibited his work in fine art galleries in the United States and abroad. Additionally, Duecker's work is owned by numerous corporate and public collections including the Philbrook Museum of Art, the Fred Jones Jr. Museum of Art and the Brandywine River Museum.[2]
