Lesley Blackburn's \u003cem\u003eThe Midnight Waterlilies\u003c\/em\u003e is a deeply personal response to that legacy: a large-scale statement painting in oils, impasto, oil sticks and mixed media that channels Monet's obsession with the transient surface of water, reimagined after dark.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhere Monet worked in the dappled light of his Giverny garden, Blackburn works at midnight — the palette shifting to deep ultramarine and cobalt blues, luminous greens, blush pinks and pure whites that capture the moody, electric stillness of water under a night sky. The lily pads are embellished with metallic copper leaf, catching light in a way that Monet's oils never could — a distinctly contemporary flourish that bridges Impressionist tradition and modern texture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDeeply textured and richly layered, this is a painting that rewards close attention. The impasto technique builds physical depth across the canvas, creating a surface that shifts with the light of the room. A work of genuine presence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDimensions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e150 cm × 100 cm | Deep boxed canvas | Weight: over 20 kg\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReady to hang\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSigned by the artist\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCertificate of authenticity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eShipping\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUK: £40.00\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEurope: £120.00\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUSA: £305.00\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNorth America East Coast \/ Worldwide: £405.00\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAbout Lesley Blackburn\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eLesley Blackburn is a British contemporary artist celebrated for her richly textured, large-scale paintings that draw on the Impressionist tradition.
