This painting is based on a photo of the little pond in our back garden which is now buried under much snow! By pond, I mean a small pond with a flat dish - like shape beside a large rock and a little statue, with a small water pump feature that circulates the water up from the pond and then down onto the flat dish where it pools and then overflows back into the little pond. The sound of the trickling water is very soothing. What I tried to capture was the texture created by all the different leaf shapes and rhythms. Also, the play of light and dark. A little bit of summer in the depth of February, though today with the sun and the warmer temperature, there was hope!
