This is a semi abstract pond painting. The horizontal and vertical lines create a patchwork design effect. It gives more definition and abstract quality to the artwork. This work was inspired by artwork of artist Paul Klee.

I also divided the composition vertically using the strong orange and green. The bright red amid the variety of greens creates a nice contrast.  The busy pond is full of waterlily pads diminishing in size with the distance. This adds to the linear perspective.

The whole painting is focussed more on design. It certainly isn't realism. I would term it more playful, creative and imaginary.

Pink pond

Pink and peach are my favorite colors. Mixing them gives this wonderful warm and cool feeling at the same time.

Painting from inspiration

             

Before leaving home, for my daughter's first day of preschool, I had quickly put in my bag -  a camera, a sketch pad, pencil, paints, brushes, and a water bottle. First day of preschool is a big day for both daughter and mom. I was nervous for her, but at the same time enthusiastic to use the extra time at hand. After dropping her and saying good bye,  I walked across from her school to the West Parish Garden Cemetery. It was not the most perfect weather for painting, it was cloudy, not the typical blue skies . I took notes from the scene of the water lily pond, sitting and observing the patterns in water.  I did not paint, but mostly recorded my observations. This is one of the pictures I took that day. 

I did not realize, the grass was wet and my shoes/socks were completely soaked. I returned home after about an hour. I wanted to finish an autumn themed abstract painting. I had already started it a few days back but was not satisfied with it so far. I started changing it to make it more like the pond scene, just more colorful.

I concluded, it looks beautiful. The color harmony seems to work. The lily pads are popping out and seem to float over the water.
