This painting is a vibrant, dreamlike depiction of red water lilies floating on a glowing, electric-hued pond. The flowers are large and bold, their scarlet and magenta petals painted with expressive, thick strokes that radiate outwards, surrounding bright yellow centres. The lilies are clustered in a rhythmic arrangement, drawing the eye upward as they gently recede into the distance.
Beneath them, cool teal and emerald lily pads float like stepping stones across the surface of the water. The water itself is alive with colour — swirling shades of cobalt, turquoise, violet, and flashes of green and yellow that give a sense of rippling light and motion.
Part of the Reimagined Nature series:
In the depths of winter, I struggle with being indoors and lack of connection with nature. This series brings summer to my studio even when it’s cold and dark. Each composition and flower is created from my imagination and so reimagines what nature might look like.
