Intermediate layer
Final layer, maybe
The lily pad paining number five may or may not be finished. I have let it set a few days and I still can’t decide. I’m more pleased with it than when I stopped, but I am not yet convinced that it is done. I think the gloss varnish will help deepen, yet soften the colors, but I’m not quite ready to take that step. Overall, I am happy with the balance of colors.

Under-painting
Lily pad’s first color layer
The lily pad paintings have been calling to me to do another one. I went back to the photos and picked one with pink lotus flowers instead of white and a nice mixture of colors for the pads.
This is 12X9 and the lily pads are larger compared with the other two paintings close to this size. I will have to find a good balance of detail versus abstract. I still have way too much problem with any intricate brush work.
