bee on a flower

I've been reading a book on Monet and how he liked to paint en plein air, outdoors, rather than in the studio. No paint here but I had these colored pencils sitting around and took them to the lake to see what i could do.  The results were pretty lame. This is the only one I dare show.

I'm not color whiz.  At my old job in corporate video I went thru about a year of doing everything in shades of gray just to see if anyone would notice or care.  Nope.
