Paintings of Water Lilies

Many of us have beheld at least one of the two hundred and fifty paintings of water lilies by French Impressionist Claude Monet. The impressions captured in his home garden throughout the last thirty years of his life are remarkable and classic. Erin Hanson has also found inspiration in this unique flower that rests peacefully in quiet ponds. The shifting reflections in the water create endless patterns and rhythms of color around the floating lily pads.

Water Lilies
Delicate hues of burgundy, green, and blue meld together in this painting of a water lily pond in France. I stayed one night in an old stone bungalow near Bordeaux, and I woke the next morning before dawn to wander the gardens. Tucked away in a secluded grove of tangerine trees, I found a giant stone pond with water lilies blooming on the still water. The slowly lifting fog gave the vista a quiet, subdued tone, and I wandered through the quiet land, discovering unexpected marble statues, benches, and arbors, nibbling on fresh-picked plums and peaches as I went.

Every time I paint a water lily pond, I am inspired by something new. In this piece, I wanted to capture the warm reflections of light coming down from the top of the pond. I love the contrast between the gold and green reflections and the rich ultramarine of the sky reflection. The thick, impressionistic brush strokes capture the delicate and ever-changing light of the scene.

After immersing myself in the beauty of Monet's Garden and seeing his original water lily paintings in several different art museums in France, I was inspired to create my own large-scale oil painting of water lilies. After seeing his garden in person, I realized that the squiggly lines in his pieces were reflections of weeping willow trees. This made me look at water reflections in a whole new light.

Painting water lily pads is a study in contrasts. The lily pads reflect a muted version of the sky's color overhead, while the water reflects the shadows of the trees as well as the sky. When sky-lit water lilies appear against a reflected shadow, there is a beautiful contrast of color and shape. Gentle ripples add interesting effects to play with as well.

I am always searching for new water lily ponds to paint. Two of my favorite ponds are in the middle of a big city, and both at an art museum -- the lily pond in Pasadena, California, at the Norton Simon Museum and the lily pond in Balboa Park, in front of the San Diego Museum of Art (which I have painted here.) I love how the light and reflections interact with the lily pads, and the blooming flowers add an extra dimension of color and texture. "Illumination" is an original oil painting on stretched canvas. This large oil painting arrives framed in a burnished, 23kt gold leaf frame, ready to hang.

I created this painting during a live painting demonstration on a cruise boat floating along the Seine River, near Giverny, France. Sounds unreal, doesn't it? While I painted, we drifted past ancient castles mounted atop limestone cliffs, quaint thatched-roof towns with Gothic temples towering high above, and little families of swans swimming down the river alongside us. This painting captures the water lilies in Monet's Garden.
