Bathing Beauty 3


I painted this swan, "Bathing Beauty" for my Mom. She wanted a smaller painting than the original which was full size on watercolor paper. It is funny how you can take the same photo and paint the same subject and it turns out completely different. Your mood while you are painting or the handling of the paint to water is always different. This swan looks like a young bird that is just starting out. I usually don't paint a painting again but this is the third time I have visited this one. I do love these majestic birds. Sold
