Another "Water Lilies" - Diptych - Oil on canvas









The front side here. The backside below.

This is a painting, (work in progress in 0il), I have resurrected after giving up hope with it. I spent a bit of time re-working in new color, and continuing to build up layers of paint for the luminosity I seek. Color is essential to all my work as is design. In this piece, I purposefully placed lilies in various states of bloom to create a Triad or "V", (inverted in this work), into the design forcing the eye of the viewer to move throughout the painting and into the other side of the diptych. Incorporating design elements like these keeps me interested and challenged simultaneously.
