Lavendar Water Lily

This was a crazy image for a one day painting.  The thing about a one day painting is there comes a time that I have to work to pull the painting together, even though I want to develop some of the details more.  There is roughness in this work but it still has a pleasant flow.  The darks in the water became very important.  I also brushed the water lily pads with a watered down gold ochre.  This seemed to flatten the pads as well as giving them an unifying glow.
