Diane Mannion, 1 American Lotus, 8x10" oil on linen
American Lotus...this pond is located near the Jacaranda Library in Venice, Florida and it's so thick with these plants not a bit of water shows. John thought it looked like a scene from another planet. The colors and shapes of the seed pods are incredible!

This is the first painting for the 30 Paintings in 30 Days Challenge with Leslie Saeta. I know, I painted it on December 31... but my blog has to be posted the day before for things to show up on the daily painting groups I belong to. Thought I would get a head start on the New Year and work up a couple of paintings. Ha! Note to self... choose less complex subjects for this challenge. Painting with a theme in mind is part of the challenge... my theme is flowers and to make it even harder on myself... all 8x10" horizontals! Will be a tough thirty days, I'm also working on a large painting commission and teaching! And painting with a plein air group and two portrait groups. I'll be able to find flowers easily while painting plein air, and for portraits, well maybe a flower in the hair or background. SOLD
Looking forward to seeing your flowers all together at the end of the month. Off to a fabulous start with the waterlily.
