Water Lily in Bloom

'Roadside Lily' 8x10 pastel

Here is another 30 minute painting. I love doing these! It works perfectly with my schedule. It was easy to steal 30 minutes today while the kids were napping....yes even the baby slept for exactly 30 minutes! This is on black LaCarte paper and it is from a photo I took on our South Carolina spring trip. Jayne, Holly & I were disappointed to find the water lilies not yet blooming at the gardens we visited...but our sharp eyes spotted these blooming by the side of the highway on the ride home!
