I have waterlilies at home that my grandmother gave to me. I was inspired by the way they burst into colour.

When my now 17-year-old grandson was quite young I told him, as we travelled on a train to Melbourne, that we were going to the National Gallery of Victoria to look at an exhibition displaying some of Monet’s paintings that contained water lilies. He looked at me inquiringly and asked, “Granny, will there be frogs?” This piece brought back this touching memory.
