It is a warm and misty day with a soft rain falling off and on since the big thunder storm last night. This will be good for the garden after our stretch of warm weather.
This lily is the same one that I painted last time but after doing a similar painting in white I added color washes heightened with translucent white. This layering of the colors produces some wonderfully rich color and depth. I use the same technique in a lot of my paintings usually starting with a sepia under painting to build the black and white layer on.
As I have mentioned before, the deer love to eat the lilies; but fortunately we have enough in the garden for both the deer and us to eat as well as some for cutting. The thick, succulent petals have a sweet, nutty flavor and are exceptional in salads. They are also interesting with pasta and mushrooms. Some folks use the 2-3 inch long flower buds of daylilies as a substitute for asparagus.
