Wide Horizon Tundra Swans
Image Size: 30"x20" , frame size 44"x35" aproximately
"In this painting, I have shown the male standing guard and the female
sheltering the downy, newly hatched cygnets. Since the purpose of this painting
is for conservation and environmental work, I wanted to show the "on guard"
stance and the hope embodied in the coming generation. The tundra swan
is a recent name given to the whistling swan; the new name is far more
appropriate. First of all, these birds do not whistle. Their cry is a kind of
sonorous, clarion-like yodel; secondly, they do live almost entirely on the
tundra regions of North America during the breeding season."
