When Lillies Dream In Green Pastels

Original Watercolor, Soft Oil Pastel & Mixed Media Painting | 22 × 38 cm
When Lillies Dream in Green is an original mixed media artwork created with watercolor, soft oil pastels, and expressive layered techniques. Measuring 22 × 38 cm, this intimate piece captures a quiet, dreamlike garden suspended between water and light.
Soft washes of green flow across the surface like gentle currents, while luminous lily forms emerge and dissolve, suggesting petals drifting through memory. Delicate watercolor textures blend with rich oil pastel accents, creating depth, movement, and subtle contrasts. The result is a poetic balance between softness and energy — a landscape that feels both abstract and botanical.
This painting invites slow looking. Each layer reveals traces of gesture and emotion, allowing the viewer to discover new details over time. The mixed media approach gives the surface a tactile quality, with translucent passages of watercolor meeting velvety pastel marks for a serene yet vibrant composition.
