This painting marked my first use of heavy layers of crackle paste and gel medium to capture the depth and feeling of water and its reflection. I added color, then layers of gel of different viscosities. I saw the painting as a pond, and then created the shadows and lily pads, plus the small yellow water plants that naturally live in shallow freshwater ponds. “Reflections” evokes the peace of a country setting, and would be at home in a traditional room, perhaps one with a traditional French feeling.
