Summer Swans

12x16 watercolor
2012

I am not sure how I feel about this painting.  Sometimes I find the abstract shapes in the water to be interesting.  Other times it seems too busy. However, it is what it is.  I painted this while in transit from my move from Guam to Baton Rouge, this summer.  While staying with my mother in law in Michigan, we saw these beautiful swans on the lake in Fruitport, Michigan.  There were several babies on the lake, during the previous week.  But when I went down to snap a few photos, I found only one little cygnet left, making up this family trio.
