In Waterlilies, New Day Dawning, Canadian artist David Drum delivers a radiant meditation on light, water, and renewal. This large-scale oil on canvas immerses viewers in a vibrant landscape of sunlit lilies and rippling reflections, rendered in an expressive palette of lilac, emerald, golden yellow, and rose. Echoing the spirit of Impressionism while infusing it with a contemporary sensibility, Drum captures the luminous stillness of morning as it rises across a pond’s surface.

At 48 x 60 inches, the painting's scale invites full visual immersion, while its painterly brushwork brings motion and softness to the composition. 

Drum, born in 1944, is known for his lyrical, color-rich landscapes and abstracted nature studies. His work explores the interplay of mood, memory, and environment, drawing inspiration from both Canadian landscapes and global traditions of contemporary landscape painting. In Waterlilies, New Day Dawning, he continues his long-standing dialogue with beauty, impermanence, and the emotional force of light.

This work will resonate with collectors of modern Canadian painting, contemporary Impressionism, and floral landscape art, especially those drawn to meditative, light-filled compositions that blur the line between realism and abstraction.
