Lily Pond

I had to paint them. 

I've done so many small mixed media projects, I wanted to get back to my first love, oil on canvas. And to my newer addition to that first love, the palette knife.

I did this acrylic lily pond as one of the Sketchbook Revival Binge Fest lessons a few weeks ago. Landscape paintings usually aren't on a vertical page/canvas.  I liked that.

Waterlilies... so pretty to see in real life... so intriguing as seen and put on canvas through Monet's eyes and brushes. This was in the St. Louis Art Museum. His works are huge, and they're just daubs of color, but... ahhh.. No, of course, I didn't touch it... but I wanted to!

Not only will I enjoy seeing my lily pond on my wall, I'll occasionally run my fingers across the textures on the canvas... because I can!
