Theme:Benson/Mute Swan
This is an image of a mute swan that has wrapped it's neck around to preen. In the original you can see the one eye reflected in the water. I thought it was an interesting view. I have also been playing around with the eye and decided to hand paint this one in. I know it isn't as large brushed as the rest, but felt if I was painting the picture I would paint the eye semi-clear.
What an exquisite job you did, the subject is perfect and the texture and light really make it like a painting.
wow... Denise, this is a amazing work. I like the choice of subject, brush stroke and the texture.
Another incredible image from you Denise. You are inspiring me to new heights every time! :)
Thanks you guys- Your kind words are much appreciated:D
awesome young lady....the brush strokes are so well rendered, colors well balanced and
the orange bill color repeated just enough for excellent balance
Thanks Dave, I really had to re-work this 8 times -setting the brushes and working the lighting and colors. Your kind words mean alot-thankyou.
Denise, this is so beautiful. The lighting and colors are perfect:D Your creativity is very inspiring!
