Each and every year we wait in anticipation around the middle, to end of March for these incredible birds to return from their epic adventures. It always astounds me how these tiny creatures manage such an expedition.

Sadly, in recent years there has been a huge decline due to many factors, and it’s heart-breaking. Swallows make the most beautiful sound as they soar and swoop and I’m constantly in awe of their beauty.

I found painting this peace bitter sweet but I’m so pleased I took the plunge, it has a beauty and power that touched my soul and I hope it touches yours too.
