I pass it every week and it's so close to the road, with an easy to access parking lot, that I stop to photograph it every time I pass. The water lilies are on the shallow parts of the lake. The fishermen are on the deep parts. It ...

Pastel on sanded gatorboard, 24x22 The idea of this painting is a view across the old mining pond at the Jacksonville Arboretum.

I once knew a man who loved nature. When he was young, he used to climb mountains. Alpinism was his passion.

We visited family there, and they took us to their botanical gardens which is where I got the reference pic for these pieces. Water lilies don't exactly thrive in the mountains of Colorado!
