absolutely brilliant! delicate gentle wash of colour. I like swans, they are so elegant, graceful and majestic, and your painting has captured all of that.

A gorgeous painting janet. It has everything. Great subject matter, lovely transparent washes, exellent tonal values and impressive colour combinations. It's a winner for me.

This is so beautiful, the light on the swans and the reflected warm light under their necks, very well done, I love it Janet.

Beautiful watercolour Janet, everything a watercolour should be. Beautiful subject too.

A ballet of swans! Lovely clean colours and delicately picked out heads. I am glad that you haven't gone too wishy-washy with the shadow colours and have put some real strength into them for maximum impact. Super work.

I love the composition and the colours you have used. This is a beautiful and unusual way of depicting swans - they look like a group of ballet dancers. I can almost hear the music to swan lake in the background.

Agree with all the above, an original depiction of swans, lovely.

This came straight from the heart......one of the subjects that inspires and brings out something special.....I am sure all painters feel the same .....it is great having a subject you WANT to paint rather than HAVE to. Thanks for all your wonderful comments.
