John Swan is considered one of the more prominent sporting and wildlife artists in America today.
Although he has won prestigious prizes such as the Ducks Unlimited International Artist of the Year award in 1987 and the Atlantic Salmon Federation Artist of the Year three times, Swan has entered his work in few judged exhibitions. He prefers contests on streams or sea as an avid fly fisherman. He then paints his experience with the passion of a true sportsman.
This depiction of a man in his canoe paddling on a quiet lake on an overcast day captures not only the mood of the scene but the talents Swan has as a watercolorist.
