Giant water lilies float gently in the ever-changing waters of their lake home. They open their flowers adorned and unafraid, showing themselves to the setting sun and accepting its warmth in return. This original oil painting on an extra deep custom wood panel is gilded with metal leaf. It’s golden sides gleam from every angle and give it a real presence in a room.
