WoW !!! what an interesting concept. My guess is that the photo doesn't show the true elegance of this work. I'd love to see this in a gallery. Excellent work. Keep 'em coming.

    Thank you for reviewing. Sadly one side the white was sold without the black so only prints in this format possible.
Comment from Envision


I really enjoy the creativity and concept of this painting. The yin-yang symbol at the top was a nice touch to emphasize the meaning of the artwork. Both swans look good. I like that their body language is the same only inverted. The reflections on the water are very nice and the colors on both sides are attractive.

Lovely detail with good mark making. The swans look heaps cool and i like the contrast of the black and the white here works well and makes this image pop. Thanks for sharing

Very clever and original idea, black and white swan as a mirror image as if looking through binoculars, the one of the left gives the impression of a sunset, very nicely painted as well!

Comment from Sange


I like that you posed the two like two bookends, one looking left the other right.
Nice details on both Ying and Yang with fine water Reflections on both.
It's interesting to see how you created the Reflections with a paint brush.
Impressive work..Best of Luck :-)

    Thank you. I lived a long time on a boat and water was a favourite of mine to paint. I was told by my nephew I had a knack for it.

Great idea,Very creative. It gives you the felling of looking into parallel time zones. Good choice of colors. Well balanced. The reflections give the images depth. Perfect framing. Well done.

Beautiful representational art. I love the concept of it. I think you did an exceptional job with soft reflections versus the bolder contrast of the forms. I also think you accomplish your complement through color. Well framed to show them to great advantage.
Wish you all the best in the contest!

This is an interesting concept and a creative way of representing it. I like the details of the reflection in the water on each of them. The colors are very nice. Your presentation is also very nice
