Swan Lake


Swan Lake


Love Art Nouveau and have recently found a few other artists that had a similar style.  This piece is my nod to Louis Rhead.  It was fun to do, mostly pen and ink and then fill in with marker.  I do have a small bit of watercolor on the swan itself.   Every time I see a swan I think of my sister, don't really know why, but have since I was a girl.  So here's to you Rhema!

  1. You have? I had no idea, I love swans. I just took allot of great pictures of a swan at Chatua Montalinna "vinyard of the Bottle Shock movie" BUT I somehow lost all the pic's on my computer :-( I was so bummed. This swan in your painting looks almost identical to the one I took,the position, poise everything. He/she was in a pond,fluffing her wings,the light shining perfectly. My plans were to paint the picture. Now I must go back to the winery "how heart breaking is that"! ha! ha! to try and recapture that swan once more. Hopefully some time this spring, wish you were here to go with me. You would love the vinyard "google it" :-)

  2. I have watched the movie several times and love the vineyard. Yes, I would love to go and see it first hand. Funny how often we are on the same page.
