Marilyn's Easter Gift

Our daughter, Marilyn and hubby Matt, gave us this beautiful lily for Easter.  I have had it on the table next to my recliner where I could see it and enjoy it, and of course, had to paint it.  I did this on an 8" x 10" piece of watercolor board.  I decided to paint the background black, mainly because the lily has been sort of in front of the black television screen, and I really became accustomed to seeing it surrounded by black from the angle I was seeing it.  Now it is time to take it outside and plant it in the flower bed so we can enjoy it again next year.
