Pond Life Painting

This painting is part of a series of works on the theme of water. I love this water theme. I live on the Cote d'Azur in Southern France where the lighting and colours are amazing all through the year. From the amazing Azur blues of the sea to the Viridian greens of the rivers in winter. The light is often very bright and its very hot. We seek refuge in and near the water, the swimming pools, the sea, the waterfalls the ponds, rivers and streams which are captivating, fascinating places. Of all the drawing and painting mediums I've used oil paint is the only one that I have found that is closest able to capture the purity and intensity of the colours of some flowers. In this painting the whites, yellows and pinks in the waterlily were so pure and full of light, contrasting to the rich dark, dank and muddy world that it has grown from. A frog's paradise of lushness. A painting challenge to try to capture this world.
