Water Lilies

"Water Lilies"
8 x 10 inches
Acrylic on canvas

I was very interested in the reflections at first. Then I had to decide what was the focal point? So I played down the reflections and emphasized the lily pads and the flowers. Finally, after the second try, I had a good composition. Now the reflection of the tree sets off the water lilies, instead of distracting from them!
Thanks for looking!

This painting has been reworked. See April 2010 for update.

Plein air painting (done on location). I exaggerated the sky colors somewhat. The dead grasses were all lit up in the morning sun, it was beautiful.

Mural, completed






















The right side of the mural is finished. Here are some views of it. I blocked off the window and got some better photos this time.

The top photo is the left side. Added some more flowers and brightened up the lighting. Scroll down to see more.

I have run into problems with the priming of the next two murals. The paint is not adhering to the wall. I have to sand and re-prime the walls--very disheartening! I had already started major fill-ins!

Thanks for looking!
