Everyone has to paint lily pads at some point right? Of course Joanna and I still love your lily pads in our home Brian. This is 18x24" acrylic.
If the sky is a reflection in the water I would tone it down and make it darker so it blends in with the rest of the painting. As it is right now with the light blue sky, the lily pads seem to be floating up towards the sky because there is to much contrast.

Great job on this Elliot, beautiful color, delicate and well balanced! One of your best! Brian

ReplyDeleteThanks guys! I see what you're saying Ralph. I might bring the value of the cloud reflection a shade.
