In other news, the Sunnyvale Art Club had its monthly meeting on April 20,2017. The monthly competition theme was " Flowers". My painting won 3rd place at this show. After doing an iPad painting of waterlilies , I wanted to create a traditional painting as well. So did this one with a combination of watercolor pencils and colored pencils polychromos. I used 140 pound cold pressed watercolor paper for this one.

Here is a picture:

I thank you all for your time for visiting my blog. I will leave you with a quote from Claude Monet for you to ponder on.

"It took me time to understand my water lilies. I had planted them for the pleasure of it; I grew them without ever thinking of painting them."-- Claude Monet
