A Lilly Pond

Lilly Pond 

I super busy with commissions right now and just quickly wanted to share the next step of the current painting I am working on. After I get the colors blocked in I start to work up each area of the painting. Note how everything is a bit blurry. This is done intentionally, because our eyes tend to go towards things that are more in focus and therefore of more interest. What started out as three lonely water-lillies soon transformed itself into a pond filled with them,. Once I post the entire finished painting you will see what I mean :)
