Reflections On The Lily Pond


Reflections On The Lily Pond

8x6in oil on canvas panel $135 SOLD

Artist Note.
Number 8 
in the lily pond series.

The glow of the setting sun 
reflects on the water.
Sky and water  together- 
Beautiful!
I always have an 
emotional response
to this combination 
no matter what time of day.

Using the palette knife
I went for simple shapes of color
to suggest sky, hills, water and then 
adding the lily pads at the end. 
Its amazing what the eye can 
make out of
simple shapes and color.
