Water lilies for Rita

Rita - I hope this helps you find your way through the image. Rita wasn't able to get a clear download so I thought I'd help out a little I can't seem to find the raw file of the reference photo, but here is the cropped image. I'm also posting the finished painting (when I shot the steps for reference I had the camera setting on vivid colors so they are a bit bright!). If you go back to my blog and look at an old posting dated July 18, 2010 you will find a portion of the photo reference. I am also posting the original photo (but not raw) and the first painting I created from this image just for you....
