Perhaps some of you enjoy the tranquility of a pond you created in your yard. Or perhaps when you think of ponds you think of the colorful ponds in Giverny, France, with blue water and pink lotus flowers where the artist Claude Monet planted his water gardens and painted his iconic water lily collection. Regardless of where you find a pond, the water lily thrives.
The water lily is a miracle of nature. Perfect in every way. That is why I love them. That is why people love water lily paintings and want to enjoy them in their homes, to grace the walls in their homes and inspire tranquility. What is your impression of water lilies?
I am honored that The Pond at Lady Bird was awarded Honorable Mention at the Oil Painters of America Fall 2020 Online Showcase in December 2020. The Pond at Lady Bird was inspired by my visits to the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center in Austin, Texas. This pond is located at the entrance to the beautiful park, and is shaded by huge oak trees.
