Lake Erie Water Lotus

Trying to focus again on my art. My brushes have been lying still for too many days. These water lilies line the shore of Lake Erie. Beautiful yellow blossoms bob in the water if water levels are high or sway in the breeze if levels are low. I will post as progress is made. Here's hoping you will enjoy.

 Progress...slowly moving forward. I decided that I wanted some company. 

And I wanted to make my little buddy comfortable. A little puddle would be nice for the little guy...
