Lotus -- Plein Aire





Well today is my lucky day. Yesterday we went to a restaurant in the neighborhood and see that the lotus in their pond are all blooming. So I asked the restaurant's owner to come back in the morning to do a painting. He said yes... Thank you sir.

So this morning I did a 6x8 inch watercolor of them. They also have geese to guard the property. At the end of my paint out, the geese were making loud noise and walking closer to me. I was nervous a bit but things turned OK. I have fun before going to work.

Ai - I love this one of the lotus!!! Great color!!! Did the restaurant owner ever get to see the painting that you did? If I were you I would definitely go back there again to paint.

Ai - I am passing on a "Passion for Painting" blog award on to you. (For some reason I can't get the award itself to appear here.) Please see my blog for the details. Your work is inspiring and full of life.

Very pretty, Ai! Isn't it fun to find a great spot to do a painting. We won't have lotus or waterlilies here until about July, but I must remember to look for some to paint.
