This dramatic swan painting shows a black bird with wings spread wide, surrounded by fiery orange and yellow light over choppy blue water.
A black swan with a red-orange beak is captured mid-pose with wings raised and fanned, while the background bursts with flame-like colour and the foreground shows energetic water reflections.
Deep blues and near-black tones frame vivid orange, molten yellow and touches of red, creating high-contrast warmth against the darker bird.

Its bold central subject and vivid sunset palette could suit a living room, reception or office space where you want a striking focal point.
