Three Blooms on Blue

A large square canvas spreads flat, simplified pads across a clear cobalt-blue pond. The leaves are painted as clean overlapping discs and hearts in every green, with occasional brick-red, teal and tan among them, building a calm decorative field.

Three pink water-lily blooms open across the surface, each rendered with more naturalistic softness than the graphic pads around them, their petals shading to white and their centres warm yellow. The tension between flat pattern and the tender realism of the flowers carries the picture.
