Oil on board, plein air painting
18 x 24 cm (21 x 27 cm frame)
Penicuik House Estate gave permission for a group from Penicuik Arts Association to paint in the wildlife area normally closed to the public - thank you!
The lily pad floated, the reflections floated, the ground and trees seem to float above the reflections. I was interested in how the bright colours of the lily pad could sit within the muted colours of the lake, rendered in a very limited palette.
