22" x 15"
watercolor on paper
This is done from a photo taken at a local pond. The waterlilies were white but i changed them to a pink.
All comments welcome.

The painting is very well done as usual. But it gives the impression that the Lillies took a nose dive into the water. Like they were under the water.

| The background is the whole reason for this painting- hence the title. Glad you like the painting. |

| It is very lovely - the colors are gorgeous. And the lilies have that "waxy" look to them; I like the fact that you changed them to pink. I guess I'm seeing like Kathy - but you're saying the background is inspired by the colors of the pond - not that the lilies are IN a pond, right? |

| I love the background. How did you get the bubble effect- misket, salt or something else? Plus your lilies are beautifully rendered. i didn't think the lilies were underwater when I looked at it- just really liked the whole effect. JMO - Nina |

Thanks Kim, the more i think about Kathy's and your comments i feel that maybe i should have some lost edges or some darker edges for the lilies. I am going to try it.
Nina i am happy you liked the background - that is the main focus of the painting. I used a combination of a lot of techniques to get that look - frisket, salt, spray bottle, sponge- are the main ones. |

That variety of techniques gave a very interesting background. I bet the painting itself even looks better.

Your BG gives much interest to this wonderful painting Priti.
I think your idea of some lost edges would make it even more lovely . Good Job. |

| This reminds me of the Buddhist story of a lotus blossum rising from the mud up through the dark water to the light; then busting from the water to open in the sunshine. A simile of life. |
