Odette Sad Swan
Acrylic on canvas 75 X 100
Swan Lake
Act 3 (in part)
While the prince is dancing, trumpets announce the arrival of Von Rothbart. He brings his daughter, Odile, on whom he has cast a spell to appear as Odette. The prince is captivated by her beauty as he dances with the imposter. Unbeknownst to Prince Siegfried, the true Odette is watching him from a window. The prince soon confesses his love to Odile, thinking that she is Odette. To Odette’s horror, she flees into the night.

very expressive- lovely use of pure white as highlights- interesting- as I read the story my eyes moved to the painting- intially I saw a swan that gradually (and mistfully (doubt that is a word))- turned into Odette- lovely use of curves as well- a very touching painting-
Naomi O'Connor replied
Again many thanks for taking the time to view and comment. I was lucky enough to see The Russian Ballet perform Swan Lake where I live in Australia a few years ago. Odette has been in my head ever since.
