Artwork Description

Oil on canvas, stretched and ready to hang.

Signed on the front.

The sunlight wanders across the pond on the lily pad paths making all right with world. Below the soft green lily pads is another world, deep and blue. This other part of the lily pond does not get the attention of the water lilies or the the dancing sunlight. However, this world below is equally beautiful and it is this blue world that enables the lily pads to reach for the sun. This other life and is almost the antithesis of what sparkles above the water. Dive into the deep.

Cheryl Willcox is a life long painter and art teacher. Her passion for natural beauty is seen her works as she creates paintings of her immediate and sometimes rare environments using bright colour and expressive brushwork. Frequent visits to National parks and other havens of nature are regularly enjoyed through long distant cycling holidays, photography safaris and daily walks.

Living in the truest sense is where NATURE demands your mind and all your senses to place you in the world where you are just a small part of a much bigger force.

Cheryl's hope is that this painting will bring a sense of joy to the room where it lives, and that is makes the people who enter the room feel as though a part of nature is right there with them.

*Beautiful visible Impressionistic individual brushstrokes providing added texture.

*Expressive and bold use of colour.
*One of a kind original oil painting.
*This painting is on stretched artist quality canvas with an internal wooden frame.

* The painting is blackened all around the edges of the canvas so looks great from all sides. It would also look wonderful in a timber floating frame.

The back waters of our local lagoon (Avoca Lagoon) secludes itself from visitors and tourists. Even locals sometimes.
 Far from the crashing beach entrance and the energetic dogs and noise of the children, this is where the quietness of water, light and shadows come to rest around sleepy islands. 
All different physical elements but all appear to be in peaceful balance with each other.  Time to sit, draw and let the surroundings paint themselves. 

All the elements seem to be sharing part of themselves with each other and the shadows are only extensions of light, water and a mirage of an island. Phantoms of a physicality that draws you into illusions of light, space, shade and shadows. 
The Back Waters have their own magic that is best experienced without the crowds and a timepiece.
This painting has been inspired by the view from the lookout  (Lincoln Rock) at Wentworth Falls in the Blue Mountains NSW.  It forms  part of the Blue Mountain Series series of that relates to the blue mountains.

The afternoon shadows  envelop most of the landscape, imparting a sense of tranquility and quietude.  However, the higher peaks and hills in the distance are untouched by the shadows. Bathed in  golden light, these elevated forms seem to emanate warmth and radiance. The light, elegantly traces its way across the  terrain and extends  to the distant ridges.  

In the foreground, small native shrubs,  red grevillea and yellow 
 wattle, stretch out beneath the observer's feet. 
Their textured details  contrast against the backdrop of the deep  and shaded valley.   

The tranquility of the valley, the radiant hills, and the gnarly native shrubs collectively inspire a sense of awe and wonder.Horizontal Lily  pads floating in a blue Pond.
The sunlight is streaming through the reeds at the far end of the lily pond.
