Box Of Chocolates-Water Lily

This is my contribution to this week's WDE at Wet Canvas. Ros was the hostess who supplied this great reference photo!

I was in the mood to use the painting knife for an impressionistic painting.
So, I painted my impression of the water lily. I was trying to manipulate thick paint until it resembled what I was after. Instead of being in control of the paint and making it take on a preconceived appearance, I watched the paint perform (or do its' own thing) under the guidance of the knife. It's like a box of chocolates...ya never know what you're gonna get. This is a FUN way to paint!!
Must confess, I'm still under the influence of Julie Ford Oliver and her great fracturing technique.

Fallen Star-Water Lily

Oil on 7x5 hardboard.

This is my contribution to this week's WDE at Wet Canvas. The host, Robert, provided the photos.

Don't let the strange title throw ya. According to an Indian legend, the water lily was once a star. It fell from the sky on the water and changed into a flower. Come to think of it, it does resemble a star. For me, it certainly is the star attraction of a pond.

I really like the color combo of Thio Violet with the accompanying greens, blue, and touch of yellow.
