Description
I was out for a paddle on Monday June 6th, 2022. I tend to paint flowers in the early summer and these yellow water lilies certainly qualify. This is the way the yellow lily looked at 9 am on that day, the 78th Anniversary of D-Day. I was remembering my Father who was there.
All kinds of aquatic creatures love these flowers and eat them whole, including beavers and muskrats. This was one of the few remaining blooms. The other stems had already been neatly nipped off.
I wanted to capture how some of the pads were submerged, floating half way in between - without being photographic. The reflections of the flower in the water surface were also interesting.
I have painted lily pads in #1375 "Singleton Lily Pads", #1378 "Yellow Waterlily", #1379 "Lily Swirls", #1457 "Lily Pads and Lilacs", #1745 "Yellow Lily", #1802 "One Yellow Lily", #1887 "Swamp Lilies", #2175 "Jim Day Lily Pads", #2385 "Bullhead Lily" and #2679 "Nuphar Pumila".

Thank you Sunny. I try to build linkages as a web in the background of my art to connect the darks and the lights and the colours. The theory is that it keeps the viewer eye bouncing around on the oils... a theory anyway :>))
