did you know that a waterlily in latin means a flower that belongs to nymphs? that is so magical.
and you probably know that a name lily comes from the exact plant and means purity, innocence and beauty.
when i was younger i hated (i still don't really like) my real name and named myself lily. you know, all the pictures and notebooks were signed by lily and all that stuff.
why am i telling you this? well...
this is my absolutely privet waterlily. i won't tell you where is it but it was totally discovered by me and shoot by me.
you probably think that i am some kind of freak who sees magic everywhere.
well actually i kind of am, but i'm proud of that. and if you want to know there are lots of people who can confirm that :P
if you are searching for your sketchbook inspiration, you have to be open, very open and creative! have to!
so the waterlilies are my next inspiration, for texture i think.

ReplyDeleteSo very beautiful!!! :)
ReplyDeleteIf seeing magic in every thing makes one a freak I suppose that would make me one as well. The world would be really boring without it.
ReplyDeleteI love the waterlilies.
