You know how it feels when a book you have been enjoying so much reaches the last page? That's how I felt when putting the final touches to this watercolour - it had been such fun to do I didn't want it to end!
This is based on a reference photo we took at Fleet Pond - there are always a couple of cob swans posturing and beating up the other swans, and they always power through the water, wings akimbo, creating quite a wake.
I've used very limited palette for this, just a couple of blues, a green and a brown, with a touch of orange for the beak. Sometimes less is more.
Happy Easter by the way - my Simnel cake this year is a bit gooey as I thought it was a good idea to soak the fruit in tea first. No it wasn't. However, it tastes delicious!

Your cake looks great. I made banoffee pie instead. LOL Love the swan. Less is more. I agree. xoxo
