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

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