Swan Bliss

 

Swan Bliss

I was tempted to title this Swan Lake. Ultimately, I resisted and named it for the client whom it was painted for. During a recent revamping of the home, I painted a scene onto a plant shelf. About 10 years ago I had the pleasure of painting Tuscan Faux Finishes throughout the home. The interior is now under- going a transformation into a tranquil nature feel. The new palette features dusky aqua and blues mingled with cream to rust to various bark hues.

For the plant shelf, the first challenge was the original varnish protective coat. Once removed and primed, it was ready for its new scene:

The central portion features 2 Swans to represent the home owners, who decades later are still sweetly in love.

Keeping with the gentle nature feel, the willow tree seemed the perfect botanical choice to flank either side. The edges of the scene fade out making way for the rest of the rust brown shelf to be painted

in Verdigris. ( I used the verdigris collection paints by Faux Effects )

Typically our SWFL sunsets are vibrant. However, the muted colors of sunset are more fitting 

to the serene feel of the piece:
