An early winter trip to Banner Marsh – which is a wildlife refuge not far from my home – netted me some beautiful reference photos of marshlands and waterfowl – including these two Mute Swans in the backwaters. I love the colors and the contrast of the white swans against the reflective surface of the still water. This is an oil on canvas – 8″ high by 16″ wide.

Thanks, Catherin!
beautiful work Marti….
