Lotus

"Lotus"
6" x 6"
Pastel on black panel

I photographed this lotus a few years ago, but haven't painted her. I'm not sure why, but here she is now. The water these plants grow in at the Botanic Gardens is dark and the pads are jade in color. 

I like the black of the panel showing through, but it really does look more appropriate in person than in the photo of my work.
