Lillies III

Lilies III is a luminous miniature original pastel by Lowcountry artist Joanne Willoughby, capturing the quiet magic of water lilies drifting across a reflective marsh surface. Painted with expressive, layered strokes, this intimate 4x4 work draws the viewer into a moment of stillness—where light dances across water and nature reveals itself in small, fleeting gestures.

Willoughby’s masterful use of color brings the scene to life: soft blues and mossy greens mingle with golden highlights, suggesting lily pads floating just beneath the surface while reeds rise gently from the water. The textured pastel marks create depth and movement, giving this small-scale piece a surprising sense of atmosphere and presence.

Professionally framed in a rustic, textured wood frame that complements the organic subject matter, Lilies III arrives ready to display. Though modest in size, it carries the emotional weight and painterly richness that define Joanne Willoughby’s work, making it a perfect accent piece for a shelf, nook, or curated gallery wall.

An original, one-of-a-kind artwork, Lilies III offers collectors a beautifully intimate glimpse into the Lowcountry landscape—quiet, reflective, and timeless.
