I've finished the latest of the Water Lilies. I find the colors very relaxing and summery, but I'm not sure it's exactly got the lazy feel I was going for. Still, I like a lot of things about it... and it's finished! Oh, I forgot to mention the color I was focused on. I pulled three old, grungy tubes of yellow green (under various names). In the end, I had to tweak all of them and found I preferred the colors I mixed myself. Seem there's a reason they were languishing in the "old, dried-up and grungy" section; I don't think I'll be re-buying them as convenience colors.

I also did some value and color studies and began to sketch my next in the series.
Looks like you made it bigger. I can see more things now then I could at Showtime. I like the horizontality of it, the green, the yellow, those tall plants, and the pond and plants, each one wider than the one above it. and you can see the motion in the water, either the wind is blowing or it is a babbling brook.
