What I like about painting this subject matter is the transparency of the water and the things you see that are submerged, the reflection of the sky and the trees, and the lily pads defining the surface of the water – all happening at once. I've decided to do an entire series of lily pad paintings for my show.

In this photo you can see the red lines (thread) which I use to help with the drawing... otherwise I go crazy drawing those lily pads!

I did these two paintings on Thursday at Kelsey Lake, Dowagiac, MI. Still need to find out the name of the red tree. It's driving me nuts.

This painting is turning out to be really fun to work on. It involves a lot of layering and glazing to make the water transparent. I'm loving how the trees already look like they're reflecting.

Here's a daisy George picked for me. I'll probably do several like this. He's always picking flowers.... so sweet. Below is a work in progress. I'm doing a series of lily pad paintings. This one is from my favorite place on earth, Sand Lake in Deerton, Michigan.
