A Pint At The Black Swan


"A Pint At The Black Swan"

Watercolours on acrylic paper, 2009.

Artist's Comments-
During summer 2009 my then-fiance, Jeremy and I took a day trip to Stratford-upon-Avon in England. It was a beautiful day and we had an amazing time. There are two pubs there with similar names; the White Swan and the Black Swan (aka The Dirty Duck). We went to the Black Swan and had a few drinks in the beer garden before having a great meal indoors. This painting is based on a photograph of Jeremy drinking in the beer garden. Of all my paintings so far I think this one best captures the likeness of a person. I'm learning a few tricks now. Below is a close-up of Jeremy's face.
