This painting is probably the first of a lily pad series I will paint...and it is in memory of my beloved niece, Jenny. I was able to take her to Paris and show her Monet's waterlilies in person, and she loved everything about the paintings. Though the subject is the same, my approach in this scene is crisp and exact, the opposite of Monet's. I think that was a hurdle I needed to get over, and in future waterlily paintings I shall strive for his loose, ephemeral beauty. For you, Jen.
