Black swan close-up.

EDIT 10/4/2010: I have to express admiration towards Lucie aka Siluan for painting this picture for me: [link]

It's the first ever painting I ever commissioned, from an artist who had already used my stock as reference for other paintings. Paintings that I fell in love with immediately, and although I might have felt a little nervous at first contacting her to commission a painting for me, it turned out beautifully.

Wow that's an amazing photograph :heart: makes me want to do another drawing :D I love the fact that it looks as if the swan is blue and it's even more beautiful against the dark background.

Thank you very much :) It's one of my personal favourite animal photos especially for the history behind it. The black swan belonged to friends of my now dearly departed father. They kept the swan as a pet in their back yard near Pretoria, South Africa, and it has since died due to a swarm of bees.

Meanwhile, I had a commissioned a watercolour artist here on deviantArt to paint the picture for me and I'm happy to hang it right outside my bedroom: [link]

When I told my father's friends about it in South Africa, the wife in the family was so moved she commissioned the same artist from deviantArt to make the same painting so she could give it to her husband for his birthday :)

It is a beautiful animal and the watercolour artist has done an amazing job - I love the blues in the painting :heart: I'm sorry to hear about the way it died, it sounds absolutely horrific, poor thing... All your black swan photos are amazing, but I do have a preference for the one with the blue tones in it.
