Here's another in my Water Lilies series. I like the flat expanses of color and the intricate structure of the opening flower, in contrast to the soft, flowery way they look when opened. Upon review, I may touch up the flower's center to increase the contrast, but other than that, I'm finished with this one.

Since I haven't been doing a lot of painting this week, I decided to begin another painting in a loose, direct fashion to get back in the swing. There are a few pencil guidelines to start me off, but mostly, this is a large, floppy brush with three colors (so far)—yellow, red and yellow-green. The "experimental" color I'm planning to add is Olive Green by Holbein (and probably a touch of ultramarine blue). This one is slightly different because these are Illinois lilies, not Wisconsin ones. Also, there are a couple of koi beneath the lily pads but no blossoms.
