The Water Lily

The water lily

Just …. Magnificent.

 

 

Gorgeous Things of the Water

After my short zen stroll yesterday, splashing dancing in the water fountain,  I’ve ended up with quite a few new nature photographs.

I can’t wait to share.

 

Water lilies are one of my favorite flowers.  I never can resist,  as they’re floating on the water’s surface, dancers of the pond.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Painting when I’m …NOT

 

I always look and ask myself,  “How would I mix That Color?”

Its a fun thing  I’ve done for years and it keeps me “painting”  – even when I am not!

 

 

How would I create that yellow?  Perhaps a larger ratio of winsor lemon with a dash of permanent rose.  Pretty easy, that one.

How would I create the soft pale delicate lavender?  Cerulean and Cobalt blended, then mixed with a dash of Permanent Rose. I might even consider a whisper of white. Maybe.
