Speed, bonny swan boat I just bought this postcard art print on Etsy. I'm collecting half a dozen or so swan-themed postcards to frame and hang on my attic wall, and though I don't normally care for the gothic/horror style, this was too freaking creepy to resist. I would like to identify the artist and name of the painting if possible. →[More:] The work seems to be signed "Michel Thomas" though I might be wrong about that, and I've googled things like "swan boat witches" and "three witches painting" and "Michel Thomas witches painting" to no avail. Any ideas, anyone?

Where's the etsy link? To see the signature larger.

His name is Michael Thomas. Here's his site, the painting is in the Gothic/Surreal/Fantasy section.

I like posting in this thread. I hereby claim this thread for me and all of my heirs.

Just wanted to say that the person you bought the postcard from is the painter.

Does anybody read the comments down here?

Thanks so much, iconomy! It makes sense that this should be the artist, but for some reason I assumed that this was a secondhand art postcard and that the painting would be older, as in centuries older.
