Swans





Wow, I have been neglecting this blog for quite a while. I have not been painting too much because it is spring here and I an getting the yard ready for summer. In summer here it gets too hot (and sometimes dry) to plant and I am hoping for some nice subjects to sprout up.

With a last name like Swan it was only a matter of time before I painted some. I am not too pleased with the result I think maybe after I study it for a while, I may work on it some more. But, anyway, here is my latest painting. It was painted on an 8"x12" stretched canvas in oils. The swans were taken from a photograph of swans swimming in Castle Park in Colchester, England snapped a few years ago.
