24" x 12" Oil on Stretched Canvas
A spring photo shoot at the
Naples Botanical Gardens resulted in a disk full of reference photos and this attempt to paint water lilies with exaggerated water droplets and sharp value contrasts. As this one progressed, my husband teasingly referred to it as my "shower curtain piece" - Oh well....it's definitely not ala Monet!
Next maybe it would be fun to paint lotus blossoms with softer edges and a pastel palette. Wait - didn't someone do that already?
