I have been spending my time lately moving into my new studio space! It has been a long process, it feels good to get back to painting.

This is one of my newest pieces.

I don't know what it is about Trumpeter Swans but I am fascinated by them. They are one of the most beautiful birds I have ever seen. They are elegant and graceful.

Because they are a white bird they are quite difficult to paint, especially the head and neck. I am not satisfied with the head or neck on this piece, I need it to dry for a while before I work on it some more.

White on white is not easy. The play of shadow and light is essential in making this painting work.

Do I know what I am going to do with the legs and feet yet?.......No. Stay tuned.
