Medium
Painting - Oil On Canvas
Description
"Water Lilies at McKee Gardens" was inspired by the beautiful floating lilies at McKee Botanical Garden, Inc. which is located in Vero Beach, Florida. The garden is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is a historic Florida landmark. It is a remarkable place where a system of waterways interconnect.
This is the temporarily "finished" version has been in progress for about two years. I based the painting on photographs that I had taken at the garden. The water in the photographs appeared to be black with some red and reflections of the sky and abundant vegetation. I first painted the water a dark blue. I repainted it to red and then to orange and finally to the varied colors you see here. The butterflies, alligator, fish, frogs and turtles were added later. It won an Honorable Mention at the Lighthouse Gallery & School of Art Landscape Show in 2011.
