Creative Interpretations - Water Lily

[Dron58]

Claude Monet painted many paintings of water lilies. He got the idea because he had a water garden and enjoyed the plants' beauty and difference.
Where are you Monets?

Wonderful Lily Dron.

another beaut, lyle!

and dron, thanks for the image. and i agree with monet, water lillys are a bit of a surprise. you just dont expect to see them sitting there on the water with all that color.

Not easy to replicate a Monet, but here's a feeble attempt.

Definitely a keeper Al. Yeah; I stopped trying to do a Monet long ago (made some recent strides with Van Gogh though).

[Alcar]

lkro, I know you done some interesting things with Van Gogh in the past and I'm looking forward to seeing your latest work.

I first used Painter and then imported it into CS2 and used the paintdaubs to get this one.

My "Monet" using this Tut: Impressionist Photoshop Painting

Can still do an oil though. lol

I actually was going to try a smudge stick, but it was (to put it mildly) a disaster, so I blended that result into this oil.

I post pics again.

Here is a "watered" lily. I loved this picture.

Thank you for sharing it with us.

Just kidding, it's lovely.
