One of a group of ponds that are part of a wetlandarea within Elk/Beaver Lake Park, these small ponds
are full of flowering lily pads. As many as four or
five varieties of water lilies make spectacular
floating carpets on the ponds.
I painted this piece en plein air Friday morning and
plan on a return trip just as soon as I can.
Oil on wood panel 14 x 11.

Oh this one is wonderful! The color of the sky is fantastic, and I love the shimmering brushstrokes all around, anchored by that area of the pond. Wow that looks like a grat place to paint!

I really like 'the Lily Pond' - the colours are beautiful and so is the composition and brush work. Very nice piece.
Thanks Jenn, glad to have you drop by!
