Lilly pond

Two purple flowers emerge from a reflective water surface beneath a dramatic sky suffused with golden and orange light. The composition employs loose, gestural brushwork to suggest rippling water and atmospheric depth, whilst maintaining clarity of the focal blooms. The painting balances tranquillity with visual intensity through Polson’s characteristic use of vivid colour to establish mood within a serene landscape. Oil on stretched canvas allows the artist to layer warm and cool tones, creating a scene of contemplative beauty.
