Johan Hendrik Weissenbruch (1824-1903) was a Dutch artist noted for his watercolors. His original watercolor painting, "The Canal" is owned by the Toledo Museum of Art. During a watercolor class taught by Paul Brand at the Toledo Artists Club last Wednesday our class copied "The Canal" to better understand the artist's visual language. I love the harmonies created by using only three colors: Yellow Ochre, Venetian Red and Prussian Blue.

The pond begins to awaken now that spring has arrived in the Midwest. Goslings have hatched from their eggs laid in April, the frogs are beginning to jump and soon the water lilies will begin to bloom again.

I love looking at water lily paintings by other artists.
I painted "White Water Lilies" after floating on the pond outside my home.
The dragonflies and damselflies rest on the blooms that pop up beneath the waxy leaves. There are so many lily pads on the edge of the pond, the leaves stack on top of each other as they near the edge.
This painting is currently hanging in my studio, and is available for purchase.
