Lillies


Lillies

I added this painting to todays blog for a very simple reasons. Firstly, and probably most importantly , I still like this painting.

I like the colours of it and I like the feelings that it still gives me when I study it.

The other thing I love about lilies is the this. We see only the leaf and the flower. But under the water the lilly has had to struggle up through all the mud and grim to give us this beauty. 

This painting was done in a acrylic. I still have it. Maybe because I have never hung it anywhere because although I like it  I still have my doubts about it.

    Yes the colours in this canvas are wonderful ... bold and bright; yet a certain serenity prevails overall. Just for the record I like these waterlilies better than Monet's.

    I find myself making new discoveries every time I look back at this painting. Love the sunlit branches poking at the sides.

    Congratulations, this is a wonderful canvas. Don't sell it, every once in awhile we need to keep one that gives us joy.

    I find this one peaceful and joyful at the same time; just the way I like to live my life.

    Love this Ralph! So much depth that one gets lost in it.

    Une certaine sérénité baigne cette peinture. Est-ce peut-être la raison qui fait que vous la conserverez près de vous encore un certain temps.
    Belle harmonie de couleurs également.
    Bisous et merci pour votre passage sur mon blog et pour votre gentil commentaire.
