Signs Of Spring

I have been working on this for over ten years, do a bit set it aside do it again. I had an idea of a north country river after I had tried to rescue the original Mississippi river painting. I painted and let it ist against the wall waiting for the right idea and moment. I was tidying up the studio and came across a photo of Swans flying along the St. Croix river years ago when I had been Ice fishing. I knew when I saw the pic where I could use it. A few hours later and I can call the painting done.
