Changing Seasons in the Lily Pond 91x61x5cm
The pristine water lilies and bustle of bright green pads and water life are the postcard days of the pond. Such vibrancy gives the perception that the pond’s vitality will go on forever. By the time you think the thick green lily pads are forever, the season clocks over to cooler days.
Surprisingly, there is a broader palette of colours within the pond at this change of seasons than the noisy hedonistic days of Spring. The pond is moving into a mellow, quieter mood with the recycling for next Spring a consistent and recurring cycle. This change of seasons brings a new level of calm and peace to the pond.
Much of the life in the pond is in subdued acceptance of the last chapter of the journey, having had its day in the sun. Shorter days with the loss of sunlight makes for a mellow magnificence in a tranquil last curtain call for the lily pond.
