The yellow lilies  arrive like a tight, yellow fist thrusting out of the water, as if to say “Here I am, you better be ready!”  I am, with my zoom lens and soggy sneakers. The feeling of density and lush growth around the lily is equally important to capture. The painting is based on a photo of the flower, and a sequence of photos documenting the lily pads over time. The yellow ribbon around the edges grows more pronounced as the pads age, eventually turning brownish red and almost violet. The upturned pad in back, probably pushed aside by another emerging bud, is another common sight at the pond. Add a scattering of duckweed and summer’s enthusiasm is clear. Enjoy!

Family – it’s everything and everywhere. I started with a painting of the middle-aged white lily, but she seemed to be asking that I include the soon-to-open bud behind her. So I did. Come visit her at:

Water Lily Studies

Posted on by

While work on the large pondscape paintings continues, I like to set aside time for experimenting  with new approaches to details like the flowers, and investigating possible alternative compositions. These small oil on prepared paper studies can be seen (and will be available for sale) at Opening Our Doors with the Fenway Alliance, and at the Annual Fenway Studios Open Studios on November 16 & 17, 2013 (at Fenway Studios, 30 Ipswich Street, Studio 103, Boston, MA 02215). Additional water lily studies are in the Portfolio: 6×6 oil on paper page in the menu at the top of the page.
