1125 Stop and Linger

 

You may remember me mentioning the Chicago Botanic Gardens as a favorite place of mine to visit.  The water lily gardens are always filled with wide-eyed photographers, both professional and amateurs like me.  We just can't get enough of the many beautiful varieties of water lilies.  There are lily pads of all colors and sizes, even one variety with pads two feet in diameter.  

Water lilies are not easy to paint.  Make a mistake and you've painted pac man.

952. Social Distancing

This painting is a little different for me because I used a palette knife for all the painting except for the grasses.  Water lilies are not easy to draw or paint--they often look like Pacmen!  This was a lot of fun and something different to occupy the time.  What do you think?

Still need a title.  Maybe you can help?
