Garden pond with water lilies, 1994 – Oil painting by Alexander Michael

This vibrant oil painting from 1994 captures a beautifully arranged garden pond surrounded by lush plants and terracotta pots casually placed around the edges. In the centre, water lilies at different stages of bloom float among dense leaves, with flowers in shades of pink, white, and purple. The rich palette, expressive brushstrokes, and interplay of light and colour give the scene a sense of warmth and movement. The balance between cultivated garden elements and natural growth creates a peaceful, almost intimate atmosphere. Oil on cardboard. The signature 'AM 94' appears in the lower left corner. Framed in a light wooden frame that complements the sunny, summery feel of the painting.
