This work was inspired by days spent out on the river. I enjoy painting aspects accurately then adding elements that allow me to get creative and play. This is personally one of my favourite works I have produced and I loved painting on the vintage wood, it had such a nice feel to it and lead me to start experimenting with other surfaces and escaping the usual canvas. I personally really enjoy the contrast between the rugged wood, the beauty of the swan and fragility of the waters almost mystical surface.

About The Artwork

I painted this at a time when I was experiencing a lot of difficulties in my life and I was just trying to keep swimming forward each day, trying make it look like I had it all together when I definitely did not. I came out the other side and I hope this painting reminds you to keep swimming too. Painted with many layers of oil and acrylics on vintage wood which cannot be replicated -so this really is one of a kind. I loved creating the contract between the rugged wood and the perfect serene beauty of the swan and I enjoyed playing with the translucency of the water to make it look a little mystical.
