Another Love of mine is water lilies.  This is panel 2 of a diptych. This diptych was inspired by the Lotus flowers on Paynes Prairie in Gainesville, Fl.  The flowers were not accessible on the prairie for photos so I looked around Gainesville for others so that I could get some good reference photos.  I found the flowers at a retention pond by one of our Post Offices and in a small pond on Interstate 75 between Gainesville exits!   The Lotus flower is regarded in many different cultures, especially in eastern religions, as a symbol of purity, enlightenment, self-regeneration and rebirth.  It characteristics are a perfect analogy for the human condition:  even when its roots are in the dirtiest waters, the Lotus produces the most beautiful flower.  

Enjoy!  ❤️ Sending Love ❤️
