Description

Every spring and fall the tundra swans fly over my property on their migratory path. Last spring it was very foggy on their journey north. I heard them but couldn’t see them, so I hopped in my car and drove to Lake Erie, hoping to catch a glimpse. When I arrived there was one lone swan in the parking lot. I’m not sure if she was lost or left behind but she stayed there for weeks. I continued to visit her until one day she was gone. That experience inspired many swan paintings including this one, my own rendition of Leda and the Swan.
