Catalogue note

Water lilies float on a deep, almost navy pond that dissolves at the top of the canvas into a warm, cloud-like blush of reflected sky. The leaves are broad and painterly, touched with pink and rust, and the surface is worked in long, fluid strokes that suggest both depth and stillness. The mood is meditative, echoing the lily-pond tradition while remaining entirely the artist’s own.
