White Swan

Oil on Gesso Board (8 x 8 inches)

SOLD

I thought a nice sunny swan painting would brighten the wintry days we’re now in.  This is that same swan from the other two paintings I had done last year.  He was a bit more cooperative with this picture, probably because he was quite a distance away.

Chasing Gulls

SOLD

Oil on panel (8x10 in)

Again, while on recent vacation, I saw this beach scene with a young child chasing after the ever-present seagulls, which I had to paint.  It’s good to be young.

Stratford Swan II Alpha

                                                       SOLD

Same Alpha swan from the Stratford, Ontario visit I mentioned yesterday.  This time he was heading back down the Avon River to order all the other swans around, in case they forgot who was the boss.  Nonetheless he was lovely to behold and definitely a great painting subject, cooperative or not.

I spotted this swan during a recent visit to Stratford, Ontario, a pretty little town about a one and a half hour drive west of Toronto.  This fellow made it clear that he did not want his picture taken and motored away along the Avon River at breakneck speed.  I managed a few pics anyway, and here is the resulting painting.
