‘Up the Swanee’ was one of the earlier paintings in Paul’s Urban Collection. It portrays something of a juxtaposition with the graceful and proud swan contrasting with the graffiti ridden backdrop and discarded bottles. When he created this piece, he thought the title could well be seen as a sign of the times! As it was then, sadly, it could be considered even more relevant now!
