Florence is the third and final painting in my Big Bird Collection, a series I envisioned for months before touching brush to canvas. With this collection, I aimed to make each bird big and bold, with long necks and set against an abstract-style background.

Florence has been created on a deep edge box canvas measuring 100 × 50 × 3. The background was crafted by covering the canvas in black gesso, then layering spray paint in vibrant pinks, purples, blues, and white to produce a bold and striking backdrop for her.

The and neck of the swan were painted using acrylics soft pink and white tones, with larger strokes to create a textured feel the neck. For the back of the swan, I aimed to convey a sense of movement, either just landing on the water or preparing take off. To achieve this, I splashed fluid acrylic ink across the canvas in shimmering pinks, teals, and white. Additional texture was added by applying thicker white paint to give a slightly 3D effect.

This striking statement piece would look stunning in any room of your home.

The painting has been sealed with a glossy varnish to protect the artwork.
