Surviving a Drought?

This image is a nonsense of course, not only because waterlilies would never survive these conditions nor “float” on the dried lakebed, but also because the composition was conceived during a long period of hot and dry weather (yes – even in England we have at times too much sun!) but drawn and painted as I sheltered indoors from some very heavy rainstorms.

I’m not convinced that the composition really works as a picture either, but at least the waterlilies and the cracked dried clay are recognisable for what they are, so the weird idea behind this image is clearly visible …
