I finished my #drawing, on the last day of my holidays! It's the first time I've done such a large #watercolour (50cmx70cm). It's based on a picture I took of a lotus in a pond in a temple (萬福寺) near #Kyoto. #art #mastoartDetail of the lotus pond watercolour

The orchid mantis is a big weird lanky bug, which is relatable, but she also rocks high-femme fashion while being a terrifying predator with swords for arms, which is aspirational.
Another white water lily, I like the effect of the drops on the leaves.

More water lilies. I just learned they are also called "white nenuphars", a suitably grand name.

There is a little loch in the Rothiemurchus forest called the Lilly Loch, and this is the time of the year when the waterlilies are out.

I am a strange person and I am not ashamed of it.
So I got serious about doing art.
Then I painted evil saints.
Then I painted naked saints.
Now I've bought gold golor to paint the nimbus of the naked, evil saints more beautifully. ✨
