Summer Wind-Swan Lake

Painted at the Swan Lake Nature Preserve with a

group of outsiders last Friday. This wonderful natural

peat bog with its shallow lake and marshy verges is

a year round avian magnet in our area.

We enjoyed a wonderful morning, though it did get

a bit windy. I was able to set up out of the wind, and

as luck would have it, right beside a fully blossomed

Mock Orange tree (one of my favourite scented blooms)!

Red-winged blackbirds kept up a steady chorus while

we painted. The numb fingers of winter plein air

excursions are but distant memories now!

Oil on wood panel 11 x 14.

Comments are always enjoyed!
