This is a beautiful combination of a lily pond with a Lotus and a waterlily bloom. I’m not sure where I got the photo, I think it was in Oxford Botanical Gardens greenhouse, but I’m not sure.

RIL Copy

Enjoy the challenge.

Zelda, i love your take on this. The painting is so much livelier than the photo.

Thank you Yorky and Sandie, but I’m not satisfied with the background and I’ll try another version

The white flower is perfect Sanfie, maybe a few streaks of darker violet in the Lotus?
