Lotus Pods in Grey Vase

30x8 watercolor on Kilimanjaro 140 lb cold press paper completed today.  As a lotus seed pod fan, when I first saw these green ones on long stems I knew they must be painted.  Here they reside in a grey tall vase with vertical textural lines.  The dramatic darks in the background set the stage for the light greens in this still life.
