Swan Lake

Description

This is another elongated landscape.  It was painted en plein air (outdoors on site) in New Harmony, Indiana.  In this case, the nearby Wabash River was flooding in the spring time.  The swans had floated upstream from their normal home down by the Red Geranium Inn.  I did not put the swans in the painting as I thought that would be a bit much.  But the soft colors in the landscape, the sky, and the water give a feeling of peace and calm.  They also are very reminiscent of many Impressionist paintings.  Painted in oil on canvas.  Size 12 x 24.
