I started this last summer as a wedding present for my sister, but work was delayed on it for months when I broke my foot quite badly.

My intention with this painting was not to paint a lotus directly, but to play with translucent pigments layered to create a suggestion in the mind's eye of a lotus. If you look at it up close it is an abstract arrangement of blobs of color, but from farther away the image forms into the idea of the flower and water. Painted with acrylic, layers upon layers upon layers of pigment were used to create this effect.

Hello! I'm making a series of art videos about flowers, and I was wondering if I could include this piece in one of my videos. It would be set to an original classical-style composition (by me) about this flower. I'll be sure to credit you and link to your page if you say yes. Here's a link to see the kind of music it is: [link]

I need to work with a different style every now and then or I get bored with one thing, especially putting so much work into one illustration style for the book. I tried to evolve a technique I actually started using in high school. :)
