lovely painting

Wonderfully done - great light, colour, and draughtsmanship; these are the Whooper Swans, I think, that we rarely get here, or not as commonly as the Mute Swans, with their orange bills.

Great painting - love your control of light and shadow

Hi Robert I think Whooper Swans all have a yellow part on their beaks at the head whereas some Tundra swans also have all black beaks. Never mind and thanks for the lovely comment.

Amazing light - really emphasises the cold somehow.

Agree with everyone, love how you have shown the roundness of the swans body's , agree about the light which will be very different to the light here because of where in the world this scene is set
