After undertaking a re-labeling project with all the inventory of giclee prints (which is considerable) late last week and the Tiburon Art Festival this past weekend (wonderful to see all who came out!) I didn’t get much time to paint. I’m back at it now.... 
A side-view showing underwater stems. The ripples and reflections are tricky – no matter how much I’ve painted them before. The full image and a zoom in to see all the water drops on my computer. I love this image! 
The paper is 40″x40″. My hope is to paint it in time to be framed and display at the Sausalito Art Festival at the end of the month. Prayers that I can are gladly received!
