"Swans Rule" Original Swan Oil Painting by Georgia Artist Cathy McIntire

"The Look" 14"x11", Oil on Linen Panel

PURCHASE THIS PAINTING

I love to paint swans. This beauty is painted from the same reference as another in this group. Sometimes it is fun to “re”-paint an image to see the differences that happen during the process of painting.

I also love strong value contrasts, so I seem to lean toward dark backgrounds against the white coloring of the swan. I also gravitate toward earthtones for my color choices, usually adding a spot of stronger color to give the composition a little punch.

I would say this painting is a true reflection of my preferences.

Art At The Rock

I am going to be at Art @ The Rock this year. The date is November 19 and 20. The location is Rock Eagle 4-H Center in Eatonton, Georgia.
To find out more about the event, just click on the logo above.

I'll be showing some of my small works at this show, and will be sharing the booth with artist friends Gail Vail and David Siffert. Both of them are fellow artists at Art of Oconee.

About my small works...
The thing that is so great about these pieces is that they are just so flexible in the way they can be used. They make great presents, of course, and for a personal purchase they can be put in lots of different places to add a touch of color and fun. I like to create art that makes a statement and I think these little guys do exactly that. Anyway, I hope you'll come by and see us!

"Perfect Pose" looks perfect on my table at home!
