Can anybody tell me the artist or name of the picture I am describing?

The picture is wooden boat sitting in a pond with lilly pads what looks to be a green mansion or large house set back in the distance? It has been driving me crazy all day. Thanks for all your help.

John Atkinson-Grimshaw is a possibility, although I don’t know of this particular painting.
J W Waterhouse might also be worth investigating, most of his work contains figures but there are some others.
Another possible would be one of Monet’s paintings of his garden an Giverny, there was certainly a lily pond there (and a boat).
