The Lily On The Pond, is part of my Exteriority Collection. I wanted the artwork to be painted on birch wood & in the shape of an orb to represent the pond & it's natural formation. I use oil paints as they blend beautifully for the fish scales & I wanted to bring movement into this piece, unlike my last painting - The Esoteric Pond.
The harsh bright brush strokes of the lily pads are a contrast to the light washes & fine brushstrokes of the fish. The birch wood oval oil painted panel sits on a gold leafed birched wood square. I used 24 carat gold leaf in the filament of the flower.
I like to bring design into my paintings & the whole piece was planned & placed by drawing & cutting stencils for the lily pads & fish & working out placement on the birch wood.
