FIERY SWAN

OIL ON BOARD, 1970

Made after an idyll by a sea loch in the west of Scotland, this marks a kind of breakthrough when I found a style of oil painting that suited what I wanted to express in spite of, or perhaps because of, my technical limitations. It was also the first time that the swan emerged, both in dreams and in paintings, as a symbol of serene wandering and fiery self-assertion.
