Lilies is a small oil painting, just 2 by 3 inches matted to 3 by 4 inches, capturing yellow water lilies resting on a restless pond surface. I applied all the paint with a palette knife, building texture through thick, confident strokes of blue and green that bring movement to the water and contrast with the bright flowers. Inspired by Monet’s waterlilies, I focused on the interaction between color and form to convey the quiet energy of a water garden. The work invites a closer look at the natural rhythm and layered presence within this familiar scene.
