The Bendy Tree Red water lily The light is fading but

The light is fading but the reflections are still bright on the water

Five Fat Friars continues my exploration of mirrored landscapes

Plenty of detail to make the eye wander round the painting

this time illuminated on a stage beneath the spotlight

The Bendy Tree Red water lily The light is fading butInspiration I have a white gumtree in my backyard up against a fence, that deserved to be in a landscape . It is so beautiful. When I stand underneath it, it towers over me so much it does seem bent. It all went from there to a huge canvas that is almost as tall as me!! I adore landscapes but like to "bend" the truth a bit and make them slightly quirky.
