Seven Swans A Swimming – 12 Days of Christmas

A Painting of Seven Swans A Swimming

“Seven Swans A Swimming” is the seventh painting in the series celebrating the 12 Days of Christmas by releasing a new painting each of the first 12 days of December!   This painting is acrylic on canvas panel and 5″x7″.
 
 

Fun Facts:

    • Swans are the largest of the waterfowl family and are also one of the largest flying birds.
    • A Swan’s wingspan can reach up to 3 meters in length (that’s about 9.8 feet!)
    • Swans are closely related to geese, however have larger feet and necks.
    • A group of swans is called a bevy, or a wedge while in flight.
    • Swans have been seen as a symbol of love and fidelity as they appear to have long-lasting, monogamous relationships.
    • Swan meat was considered a luxury food during the reign of Elizabeth I in England (1558-1603).
