Waterlilies

Picture
    

     I fabricated this painting from two different sources. I photographed the little froggy as he was hopping across the road, then painted him on the lily pad. It's difficult to find these little amphibians sitting on a lily pad, because their keen sense of hearing alerts them to the presence of danger and they dive into the water making it very difficult to capture on film.
     It is a well know fact that these little creatures are the harbingers of contamination in our streams and ponds.
