  834. Broad brush strokes of cerulean to sea green weave about one another
  835. across the canvas, giving the appearance of waves for the background. A
  836. pastel pink oil mixed with tints of white and yellow spread forth in the
  837. horizon, creating a warm morning sunrise with purple and orange clouds
  838. stippled softly for definition. In the foreground, a resplendent-white
  839. waterlily dominates the center of the painting, the silk petals
  840. delicately curved upwards. Towards the center of the flower, the hue
  841. changes to include a pink, which predominately shows next to the bright
  842. yellow stamens bursting forth from the bulb. Delicately painted droplets
  843. of water, their beads of dew distorting the sunrise's light create near
  844. star-like pinpricks upon the petals.
