In Search of Artist(s) to draw Lotus Flower

Years ago, I wrote a poem about a lily floating down a rough current.

Here is the poem for your artistic inspiration:

Acquire The Present The wheel turns and the lily rides it, into the drowning, crushing river.

The heart burns and the soul bides it, for the wounding stab it ever.

The tree grows and the birds rest in the tops of the highest branches.

The world turns, and the earth joins as its people unite in dances.

The sky looks on and the stars smile on the sleeping, dreaming masses,

By and by dawn's golden bars tidal through the silver, gilded passes.

The time comes and the moments vanish as the plays, the days are wended,

The plums rot; The traitor's banished, and the sage, the age is ended.

To some one love; to another hate, in a lifetime, the right time is living;

The rain from above; the dew on the blade, though unspoken, the token is giving.

Now is the right time, now is the ground work; the priceless, the lifeless inspire it,

The future a climb; The past's where the hounds lurk, the lesson: the present, acquire it.

I'm looking for an artist to illustrate it for me. I need one or two drawings. I'm interested in sketches but even more so in full shading. If in color, whites/greens/blues are acceptable. I like the watercolor style. Just the lily please- no lily pad. Semi-close up.

For payment I can offer:

100 CSC for light sketches 500 CSC for shaded or colored drawings Additional 500 CSC - Reserved to present at my discretion to the artist who draws an exceptional piece.

Let me know if you're interested in attempting this, have questions etc. Post your watermarked sketches for me to review. PS. If you have other ideas for ways to illustrate this poem, feel free to present them.
