Also created one more  painting with the same lily which was published in the 20th "Color" Member show Anniversary book this year. “The Beautiful Lily” is a part of a series which I started working on early this year. This series is called “ A Celebration of Beauty in Nature”. On one of my trips to a Botanical garden, I first saw this beautiful lily. I was attracted by its radiant yellow glistening under the glowing sun. It was like a love at first sight moment for me. Then and there I knew that this flower will be a part of this series of flower drawings. I took enough pictures from this trip for future reference. I worked layer upon layer mixing colors until I got the right values. I totally enjoyed doing this art piece  and had a blast as I laid  down each stroke of color to capture its beauty , drama, mood and texture.


 3) The competition was fierce with a record of 907 entries this year (2019).  

I am honored and happy  to inform you  all that   my  Colored Pencil artwork "The Scarlet Ibis" has been  selected for the Colored Pencil Hidden Treasures Volume 5 Publication this year (2019). I would like to thank Ann Kullberg who is a great Artist, Author and a Global Colored Pencil ambassador and her team of judges for providing me with this opportunity.

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.

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.
