Artwork Description:

Title: Pond Reflections

Observing my garden pond throughout the seasons and capturing the passing of time as the light moves across the water throughout the day. This painting has been built up using layers of transparent and opaque paint to create a feeling of depth in contrast to the bold mark making of the grasses and plants in the foreground.
