About this piece
Two violet water lilies stand on slender stems above a pond scattered with red, gold, and green pads. Strong sunlight illuminates their layered petals against the dark water, while rippled reflections extend the vertical composition below the blooms. Closed buds and broad floating leaves lend a measured rhythm to the saturated scene.
The story
On this May day, two open flowers hold the light above the pond. Violet petals gather around pale centers, while the broad pads spread their mottled colors across the green water. Below them, unopened buds remain close to the surface. Small ripples loosen the reflections, giving each upright stem a wavering counterpart. The flowers stay distinct while the water quietly rearranges their image.
