Monet Was A Genius

Each time I try painting Lily pads it become more and more apparent what a genius Monet was. These suckers are hard to paint, even simple ones like I have been trying to do.

I started with this lovely photo of some lily pads.

I moved it to photoshop and changed the color.

This is my painting of it, still a work in progress. I need to find a way to make the top lilypad flatter. Plus add more highlights. Its a constant learning process for me. The only way to get better is to keep practicing.

Looking For Inspiring Quotes

I've been doing Flora Bowley's Bloom Bootcamp.  Its a free 30 day program.  You can find it here. Today's prompt was about studios and spiffing up your studio if you have one.  To let the sacred into your workspace no matter how big or small.  So I cleaned up a little and decided to print out some inspiring quotes to hang in my room, So off to Pinterest I went.  Here are just a few of those I found. You can access my Pinterest Board here for more quotes.
