A Swan's Tale was created live at the Columbus Metro Library's Driving Park Branch on November 16, 2024. Inspired by the whimsy of storybook illustrations, the painting captures the playful elegance of a swan, inviting viewers into a world of imagination and wonder. In an impressionist style, the piece evokes the serene beauty of swans gliding across a French lake, blending movement and light with a touch of dreamlike nostalgia.
