A Pond of Dreams

“A Little Pond of Dreams,” an 8 x 10 inch acrylic and oil pastels on a canvas board. I used leftover paint from another piece, giving new life to colors that might otherwise have gone unused. Inspired by lily ponds I’ve seen and the dreamy, impressionistic landscapes of Claude Monet, I let the colors and brushstrokes guide the painting as it came together. The result is a dreamy little escape with soft water, lily pads, and blooming flowers.
