Hillside Lily Pond


Oh how I love painting in a water garden!  The gentle babbling of the water and movement of the fish are restorative.  After a week full of painting architecture, the solace of this garden has been a welcome retreat.  For this painting, I began with India ink, sketching out my scene.  Next, I moved in with a water soluble ink to establish values.  To this, I added watercolor, to capture the color in the landscape.  I could paint here all month and never paint it all!  Painting number 2384 in 2384 days.
