16x20 original gouache

We are blessed in Idaho to have many mountain-side ponds that have lily pads, and this amazing sunset, just before the first star is to appear captures the mood of that moment when the breezes finally still, and the lake forms as a mirror of the sky. I love to watch the fish nuzzle or jump the surface, and the dragonflies careen around the flowers. Tranquility and peace at its essence.
