About this piece
Two violet water lilies rise at different heights above a dense spread of green and burgundy pads. Strong sunlight illuminates their narrow petals and patterned leaves, while green reflections soften the open water behind them. The upright stems interrupt the pond’s horizontal layers, giving the richly colored scene a quiet poise.
The story
On this May day, light gathers along the pointed petals of two open water lilies. One stands tall over the pond; the other leans closer to the floating leaves. Beneath them, burgundy markings spread across green pads like branching veins of color. Small ripples loosen the reflections, but the flowers hold their shapes above the shifting surface.
