Abstract Art Painting Ideas: Lily Leaf Blues

This idea developed from the photo of the lily leaves. It's been manipulated in a photo-editing program to change the hues to blues and a watercolor effects filter applied. This takes it one step away from 'reality' and into a pattern where the interplay of the circles and colors dominates. I visualise this as a series, each done in a different set of colors; each different yet related.
