End of Summer (Realist Black & White Still Life Landscape of Lily Pads on Water)

2006

Minimalist landscape photograph of black and white lilies on water "Dusk Lilies", photographed by Betsy Weis in 2006 archival inkjet print on watercolor paper 20 x 30 inches, 27 x 37 inches in white frame with white mat & anti-reflective non-glare glass Wire backing for easy installation, ready to hang as is Photographed at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, this black and white archival pigment print by Betsy Weis captures a cluster of water lilies afloat on a glassy, onyx-like body of water.
