Just a girl and her swan

This original painting features a woman standing beside a swan, set against a deep, moody background. The contrast between the swan’s soft, flowing form and the woman’s expressive gaze creates a sense of calm strength and visual harmony. Warm earthy tones and vibrant red details add richness and depth to the composition. A contemporary figurative artwork well suited to modern interiors, offering a timeless statement for collectors of original Australian art.
