reflection


Another Lake Junaluska swan. This swan was taking advantage of a little open water in the frozen lake. Painted this on a 5 x 5" panel.
I am participating in The "Riverchase loves artist" charity show tomorrow night and Saturday. 20% of the proceeds go to Alzheimers of Central Alabama, The Amelia Center and the Exceptional Foundation. Tomorrow night is invitation only but Saturday it is open to the public from 10-4.(Riverchase Country club) I also have work hanging for the month of February at the Levite Jewish Community Center here in town. Excited about both of these opportunities.SOLD

  6. Bravo Carol!
    Ton cygne est très bien réussi. J'apprécie beaucoup la petite touche rose qui donne de la vie à ton tableau.

  7. Beautiful swan in absolutely stunning water. I wish you much success, Carol. The only paintings I've ever sold had all of the proceeds going to a charitable organization dealing with the oil spill cleanup. But it sure was fun creating for a purpose for me. I'm often not so good without a goal. By the way, I'll soon post the weaving project in situ. My energy is flagging and I just know I'll end up buying all of my shower gifts! Maybe I'll have this done in time for my daughter's new arrival in September??? LOL

  9. Glorious color and paint handling, Carol! I love the daring way you painted the swan's face and neck, the inclusions of pink on the feathers and the reflections in the water! You keep finding ways to push your bold way of working and keep it fresh and surprising! And, on such a small surface!

  11. This is a beautiful painting with lush brushstrokes and colors. My favorite bits are on the swan's head. I love the bright orange and black with one stroke of lime green. Gorgeous!

  15. Love this Carol. The quality of light and the reflections are luminous. I also like the direct angle at which we see the subject- eyeball to eyeball!
    Cheers, Cathy
