White and Pink Water Lilly

This 6 x 8 textured painting invites the viewer into a tranquil aquatic scene, where a single blooming water lily rises against a serene expanse of turquoise blue. The flower, built in layered impasto strokes, radiates outward in tones of ivory, blush, and coral, creating a dimensional center that seems almost alive. Its petals extend gracefully, opening fully as if reaching for the sun.

Surrounding the bloom are painterly green lily pads—fluid circles that drift across the canvas surface, their loose, gestural quality contrasting with the flower’s intricate detail. Together, they create a balance of energy and stillness, movement and calm.

The work captures the fleeting yet eternal beauty of nature: a quiet meditation on water, light, and the delicate resilience of life afloat.
