Three cygnets have died and are now being carried heavenward by a beautiful angel. The heavens open up before them, revealing the most magnificent, radiant colors. Heaven is visible, and they are welcomed there with love. Back on earth, the swan keeper mourns the loss of the cygnets. The mother and father swan are also grieving and seek comfort from the swan keeper. The background is a richly textured fairytale-inspired oil painting filled with warm amber, ochre, rust, teal, and soft grey tones, featuring thick impasto textures, subtle hexagonal patterns, a glowing full moon, and bare twisting tree branches. Soft, diffused lighting creates an enchanting, cozy atmosphere with a touch of gentle melancholy, blending whimsical storybook charm with realistic detail in a full-body composition.
A detailed ethereal painting depicts a young man with curly brown hair, wearing a dark patterned tunic and scarf, embracing a large white swan with his head resting on its neck. He is seated on a field of small colorful wildflowers, predominantly orange and white. To his right, another white swan with its neck bent downwards is visible. In the background, a large, bare, dark tree with intricate branches is silhouetted against a full, glowing orange moon in the upper left. The sky is a dramatic blend of dark blues, oranges, and earthy tones, with swirling clouds. On the right side of the painting, a luminous angel with large, feathered golden wings and a halo of light around her head floats amidst the clouds. She has long, curly auburn hair adorned with a floral wreath and wears a flowing, light-colored gown with intricate patterns and leafy details. The angel holds three small white cygnets close to her chest. Behind the angel, a mystical, ornate castle with tall spires emerges from the clouds, bathed in a soft light. The entire scene is rich in texture and detail, with hexagonal patterns subtly integrated into the left and right edges of the composition, adding to its fantastical and intricate nature.
Three cygnets died: one with a fishhook in its leg and two from botulism. We did everything possible to save them—kind firefighters even retrieved a paralyzed cygnet from the water—but it was too late for the two with botulism. I went into the water myself to get the cygnet with the fishhook in its leg. What actually happened to it at the animal ambulance service is unknown; they haven't given a satisfactory answer to my questions yet. It’s suspicious.
The mother and father swan share my grief.
Fortunately, the other five cygnets are doing well now.
