Buddha's Flowers: Lotus, Tokyo

Theodore Wores

National Gallery of Art

This painting depicts a collection of large green lily pads and blooming lotus flowers. The flowers are primarily white and pink, resting on the ends of long stems. Lily pads and stems dominate the upper and middle sections of the painting, while the bottom third shows dark green water that reflects the lily pads. A few pink petals rest on the water. Behind the plants is a light green background.
