mute swan miniature painting

mute swan miniature painting by tracy hall

Untitled (mute swan) © Tracy Hall 2011
1.75" x 3.75" watercolour on rag board
('ghost' penny shown for scale)

We have been enjoying a few days of beautiful weather in the northern isles - with the odd shower admittedly, but basically lovely and so good to see the sun! While I'm busy with paintings for jigsaw companies on the big easels, I did manage to finish this little miniature of a mute swan preening on stenness loch. I've yet to come up with a suitable title (or even an unsuitable one) but it was a peaceful scene to paint.

I thought you might also enjoy meeting our newest family member, Ryu the bearded dragon. We think he is absolutely adorable (and he's cuddlier than you would guess). Cue 'epic pose' -

Dear Tracy,
Beautiful work! Please pass my best wishes to a little dragon. Excuse me, but he's quite "cute!"
Cheers, Sadami

Hi Tracy,

The swan is so gentle and the painting is so peaceful..

Your new friend looks cute as well, I bet he is going to be in a lot of painting now :)

Thanks
Irina

Thank you Sadami, Marion and Irina - he's lovely isn't it he?! Quite a character. Sorry about that Carol - I wonder why it isn't showing up for you?
