Swallow Tales

 You might notice that Tree Swallows make it into my work quite often now. After observing their style and agile movements I am mesmerized by them. The way they dance over water with their metallic blue tone - capturing the sunshine is so inspiring.

Wings on Water • SOLD

 The Tree Swallows, that reside near our house, have inspired another painting...and probably more to come. The movement they make and the way the light shimmers on and through their wings, make painting them entertaining.

Speed of Light •SOLD

It's possible that I spent hours and days sitting near the lake, panning my camera with Tree Swallows. They are fast acrobats with their aerial maneuvers. My original sketch of the piece had 3 birds in flight - eventually narrowing it down to one bird in flight with its near wing turned up. This piece is one that has to be seen in person to feel the movement.
