Water lily in miniature by Jill Foster

6" x 4" pastel on Rtistx board

While visiting Longwood Gardens a friend took a photo of this water lily, in bud but ready to bloom. The shadows in the atrium gave it a dark beauty. He graciously gave me permission to use his photo for this painting. All of my paintings on the blog are for sale. Contact me at: fosterfineart@verizon.net for prices/questions.

Lovely composition and color. I can't believe it is only 6x4".

Very nice painting Jill. I love the deep rich blue of the water.

The colors in this are so rich and inviting - what a little gem of a painting!

I too like the rich color you have used throughout the work.
