William Huntington 'Swan Song'

A local artist, William Huntington, has generously gifted his stunning painting 'Swan Song' to our community as a parting present for his cherished hometown of Manningtree. With the excitement of marrying the love of his life, William started this piece just two weeks before his wedding. As he gets ready to leave the smallest town in England for a new adventure in New York, he wanted to encapsulate the beauty and charm of a place that means so much to him.

The acrylic painting on canvas showcases a beautiful swan resting on the muddy banks of Manningtree, right by the calm River Stour, with Cattawade and Brantham creating a lovely scene in the background. This artwork is a heartfelt nod to the artist's love for his hometown and has been gifted to the community, ensuring it keeps spreading joy and benefits to all who live there.

William has generously donated 'Swan Song' to support local youth group @my_blue_pass  . To top it off, Nick Holyman Framing has done a fantastic job framing the artwork and has also gifted the frame to boost the fundraising efforts. In partnership with the Rotary Club of Manningtree Stour Valley, the painting is being raffled off by Navistitch.

All monies raised will  donated to My Blue Pass, Swan Song is being raffled for £2 per ticket and the luckty winner will be drawn at 3pm on Saturaday, 28th December in the NaviStitch shop.
