This is a larger, more studied painting of a Swan spotted on Kalamazoo River near Concord, Michigan. I’ve taken some time to study the form and habitat of the Mute Swan. Some say they are very aggressive and act as intruders to other waterfowl. I’ve been observing these birds here and haven’t observed this type of behavior.

Here, I’ve tried to capture the texture of water and bird, the mood of the river and was focused on the feel, smell, and sense of this particular time and space.

The Mute Swan was originally a native of northern and central Eurasia, but has now established breeding areas in many North American locations including some in Michigan. This is a Swan I saw near Concord, Michigan. While this painting is sold, I’ll be working on another of the drake of this pair in a future blog so keep watching.
