I have been wanting to paint this for quite some time. It is of our lily
pond. After 8 years and the growth of surrounding trees, it got to be chore to keep clean so we filled it in. I have many wonderful photos that may well turn into paintings one day. Now, I get to enjoy our pond without all the work attached. For anyone interested, the water lilies are a tropical variety called "Tina". They were simply beautiful and very fragrant. A small start was given to me by a friend years ago and we have since shared our bounty with
Water Garden Gems. It's a wonderful place to visit for those interested in water gardening.

Your work is so nice. Soft, loose and impressionistic. I'll be back.
ReplyDeleteThis is just beautiful, Gaye.
ReplyDeleteI don't know why it took me so long to think of it, but I just put a link to your site on mine. Sorry for not thinking of it earlier!
Giving Monet a run for the money. This painting is very beautiful.
