The Swan on the Pond

Swan Painting

The Swan on the Pond: Visiting Slater Park in Pawtucket, RI, I was fortunate enough to have this swan swim very close to me. I snapped a bunch of reference photos before launching into this painting. I painted it on a beautiful tapestry whose flowing pattern almost feels like the soft feathers of he swan – you can see the pattern weaving its way through the painting.

It is acrylic paint on stretched upholstery fabric and measures 22″x18″. It is framed in a handmade and hand-painted poplar frame. The frame measures 25.25″x21.25″. It is wired and ready to hang.
