Lily Marsh Pond II



This is a full-sheet painting (almost three feet wide), but the subject is a tiny wild rose probably no more that one and a half inches in diameter. At such a scale, the exquisite beauty found in the colors, shapes, and shadows of this blossom may go unremarked--but they didn't elude me. These bushy wildflowers were growing in profusion in May at the Lily Marsh Pond in Ponderosa State Park, McCall, Idaho.
