Artist Comments
Early evening colors reflect on a peaceful lake, painting its surface with soft purple hues. Aquatic plants pick up different tones as they recede into the shadier reaches near the reeds. This artwork is part of Onelio Marerro's series that explores water lilies and their surroundings.
