A lovely concept of drawing from memory through the eyes of a child.

I also had an inflatable swan as a kid to go swimming with.

Artist Reply: Pretty cool that you had one too, Joanie . I remember mine being way bigger than me , and when it finally fell apart , mom and I sang it a song ... I think it was a swan song : )

This could be an illustration for a children's story, I think. Nicely done, Dave. What is it with humans and swans, I wonder? I mean starting with Zeus and Leda? Oh, well. it's either myth or fantasy anyway. Hope your day is a GOOD one, Dave. :)

Artist Reply: When I was little, my mom bought me an inflatable swan to use wading around in the pool. I remember this vivid dream I had of flying around the neighborhood sitting on the swan, my friends trying to run after me, Thanks Charles, yes I also thought the same, that it could be for a children's story : ) Hope your day is good as well
