Water lily in Brittany

Being interested in geometric patterns, the Water Lily flower is a motif I always wanted to paint but had never really dared to. After a quite elaborate first attempt, I started from scratch again and spent several days painting this flower to reach a satisfactory render, but it is nothing compared to how long it took Mother Nature to craft such beauties. I used my own reference photo for this painting. As Brittany sky was often clouded, I imagined the colours I would have loved to see.
