Summertime with Lilies - original watercolour painting

My daughter went to Kew Gardens as part of her art studies. There were some gorgeous lilies that she photographed. I’ve been looking for a chance to paint them. These water lilies are called ‘Lotus flowers’ in India where I grew up. I drew many of these as a child. Those memories came flooding back as I painted them.

I hope this painting reminds you of warm summer days and walks by lakesides.
