Original artwork description:

This is a large oil of a section of a water lily pond in a park near Seattle--a favorite place. I was working on a large watercolor of this same pond (my painting titled "Meditation") when I decided it would make an incredible oil painting. I think it did.
Water lilies are symbols of renewal, reincarnation, peace, purity. I have painted them many times through the years, mostly as watercolors.
Of course, in the case of both of these paintings, I thought about Claude Monet. The title of this oil painting, though, "Homage," has multiple meanings.
Last spring, an artist acquaintance of mine died suddenly. He had about a dozen very large stretched canvasses that no else wanted because of their size. So, I inherited them. This painting is on one of those canvasses. He was in my thoughts as I worked on the painting.

I was also working on this painting while I was caring for a beloved dog with terminal cancer. He passed before it was done. This painting helped me through that because I had committed it to a show, so not finishing it was not an option, even though my heart was broken. But, as it turned out, it was very therapeutic and is exactly what I should've been doing.
I loved creating this painting. It is one of my favorites and means a lot to me.

This is a large painting with vibrant colors and larger-than-life images. It would be best on a wall that allows it to "breathe." And, also, in a space where one can stand or sit back from it to reap the full benefit of its beauty. I believe it will be a joy and blessing to its final forever home. That was the intent I held while painting it. The whole process was an act of deep contemplation.
Very affordable, unlimited edition prints and other merchandise from this painting is available at my store on Society 6.

Materials used:

oil paint, stretched canvas
