DescriptionLarge square-format canvas depicting a water garden vignette as seen from above and close-up. Water is deep royal/navy blue. Soft green, brightly illuminated, cabbage/lettuce-like water plants dot and obscure much of the water surface. Several have white, tri-petaled blossoms. Three large variegated orange koi fish swim in the water near the center of the painting.Copyright© Estate of Idelle Weber
