Moses Botkin Monthly Challenge

This month's challenge was a yellow flower and blue vase. Though at the beginning I wasn't sure if it was that or just a yellow and blue limited palette. So I chose the flowers, and did it with only yellow, blue and white. I also aimed for the most intense colors I could get, pretty much straight out of the tube. I wish I had gone more abstracted though.

Once again, beautiful images created by my fellow painters. I can't believe the detail that Jeanne gets. I would go crazy! Suzanne's painting makes me feel like I am sitting at the edge of a pool, its so refreshing.
