FAIRY TALE WATER LILIES POND is a mixed media acrylic painting by Carla Parris.
This painting of a pond, overhung with weeping willow trees, filled with floating lily pads and colorful water lilies, was inspired by a visit to Claude Monet's home in Giverny, where his Japanese Gardens have such a pond.
Like Monet's paintings of his beautiful pond, this painting has no horizon. The viewer's eye is invited from the foreground flowers and grasses into the distant waters at the top of the painting.
The water has bright clear areas, reflecting the clear blue overhead sky, and dark, murky, shady, mysterious, and moody areas.
In this whimsical painting, three little dragonflies frolic contentedly among the lily pads.
The original painting is heavily textured, with bits of embedded gauze and thread. These bits of ephemera are suggestive of the weeping willows which frame many views at Monet's Giverny water lilies pond in his Japanese garden.

My love of photography grew out of capturing images from my travels, so photographs of beautiful and interesting places comprise a large portion of my portfolio. I am a Southern girl, and love the beauty that is in my back yard, so there are also lots of images from close to home. These include images of our beautiful Gulf Coast beaches, which I visit any time I can! I also enjoy capturing images of interesting flora and fauna, and wildlife images I am able to capture with my newest telephoto lens! I am a painter, as well as a photographer, and offer galleries of paintings and mixed media pieces. My interest in traditional art has spilled over to my post processing of photographs, and in addition to images with minimal post...
