I drove past this scene and thought it looked good but still went to 3 other places first thinking I could find better! I had seen this subject in the winter and thought it had promise, but its even better now with the spring foliage.
Getting a good composition meant I was standing on the side of the road right next to the water. The swans kept looking up at me thinking of was going to feed them especially when I was bending down to pick up a paint brush – not bread!
I like the little house in the distance gives it scale and looking through the negative space between the foreground tree and house.
Tricky weather, April showers – heavy ones, had me rushing for cover, wish I had brought my brolly.
Will return to do a bigger painting here….
