Beneath the Willows | Oil Painting | 11x16 | Ornate Champagne Frame

This piece is indirectly inspired by the legendary late Dolly Parton and her connection to the 1927 folk song “Bury Me Beneath the Willow,” a song her mother used to sing to her. This song remained a favorite of Dolly's throughout her life. Swans symbolize grace, purity, and poise, all qualities I feel beautifully embody Dolly herself.
In this painting, an elegant swan glides gently through moonlit waters, passing beneath the sweeping branches of a willow tree. The scene is meant to feel peaceful and reflective, almost like a quiet passage from one chapter of life into the next. It speaks as a subtle nod to Dolly’s own passing, and the lasting legacy she left behind.

This original painting has already been varnished to increase the color vibrancy and to protect the piece for years to come. The pictured ornate champagne frame is included, along with a wire hanger on the back for easy installation and display.
