I am fascinated by lily ponds and lilies growing along the borders of lakes. The shapes of the leaves is just SO graphic, and yet natural at the same time. The leaves move constantly on the surface of the water, sometimes closer, sometimes further apart, twisting slightly on their stems, the pattern spreading and coalescing like a beautiful romantic slow dance. From the same series as Dance, Dance Graphic Blue is a distillation of the shapes of lily leaves on the surface of the water. Emphasizing the water theme, it picks up on a deep lake blue, and is toned with water color brushes.
