Beauty Amongst the Jumble


LILY BUDS + PADS
8"h x 10"w
SOLD - PRIVATE COLLECTOR

Time for a break from skies. And I find lilies are always a soothing topic.

Unless it's a very well-groomed water lily pond (and yes, there are a few of those around), the pads cascade and overlap each other. I really enjoy the wild patterns of the jumbled mess!

Every once in awhile a new bud pops out - like a breathe of fresh air - and only a matter of time before it blooms. A bit of beauty amongst the tangled mess.

Similar to life... yes?
