The 30" x 40" oil on canvas painting "Splashdown" focuses on the beauty and dynamics of majestic wild birds, inspired by some memorable winter encounters with Trumpeter Swans at Wood Lake in the Okanagan Valley.  

In creating this artwork, I opted for simplicity, with swans as the focal point against a minimalist background transitioning from blue to white, placing the dominant swan within the whiter section of the canvas, to provide a natural spotlight in a story of the interaction and arrival.

I am interested in creating paintings that resonate with our appreciation of the ephemeral and also the universal in nature. I look for delicate balance between energy and serenity. 

The return of Trumpeter Swans from near extinction,  highlights nature's resilience, and symbolizes hope for environmental recovery.
