Water Lilies, Green Reflection left half — Fine Art

Green water spreads across the lower half of Water Lilies, Green Reflection left half. Rounded leaves float near the surface, with dark pads and a faint reflection of tree trunks in the water. The paint is laid in short strokes that blend when you step back.

The fine art paper holds the green tones without a shine, so the reflections stay flat and the leaves keep their shape. A light frame on a dark wall lets the water read clearly, and a wood frame beside wooden furniture keeps the room steady.

It works on a bedroom wall near a reading chair. From the bed you see the dark pads first, and up close the strokes separate into layers of green.
