Swan Song

The serene Swan River in Perth, Western Australia. This painting captures the Swan at the edge of Maylands Peninsula, North East of Perth City. The Peninsula has its own magic with beautiful river walks, sports clubs, cafes and a golf course. This is also where the artist, David lives, providing him with inspiration for his paintings from the incredible array of light, colour and natural beauty provided by the river and its banks. This artwork is painted on a 60 x 40 cm stretched canvas using artist-grade acrylic paint which is finished with a satin varnish. The painting is ready to hang with metal D rings suspending a high quality nylon hanging cord.

David Lloyd Keigwin, Age 57. I have lived in Australia for 20 years, having settled in Perth WA with my Australian family. I originally trained as a graphic artist and have spent the majority of my career designing and illustrating books.
I rediscovered my love of painting in the last few years and recently discovered that acrylics suit my style and interest, allowing me to develop quick, loose and free painting techniques that allow me to echo nature's energy in my paintings.
I recently joined an art group in WA that runs exhibitions that I have been able to enter and this has given me the confidence to seek out more local and national open exhibitions.
I mainly paint landscapes, inspired by the natural beauty of where I live, especially the beautiful Swan River and its surroundings.
