This is a painting of a loon swimming in water. The image shows a loon on the surface of green water. The bird is in profile, with a long neck extended and a red eye. The plumage has intricate details, with dots and lines on the neck and a checkered pattern on the back. The water around the loon reflects its image. The overall mood is tranquil with an emphasis on the harmony between the bird and its environment.
