The Lily Pond

The lily pond.

I was, in a way, inspired by Monet.  But, No…..

Monet never created nor painted quite like this. Showing the dark and the shadowed side of nature.

His lilies, lily ponds, his fields, his canvases were more Dreamscapes. Filled with the sunnier, brighter side of day.

 

It is admittedly, the approach I too generally follow.

 

That’s not the path this subject wanted to follow.

It  spoke of a different message altogether.

I sighed, and went along with it.

 

Artists really are   “co creators”   for the subjects themselves,   reveal how they want to be portrayed.

 

 

 

 

Silence splatters down

like rain

 

tear stains of scarlet

upon the quiet

 

little lily pads

now stained

 

remaining silent

they listen

 

listening

and waiting

 

 

 

until

silence’s echoes

are washed away
