In Living Color 39 - Moonlight Lily

It might seem strange that I would list this painting under In Living Color but it actually is a watercolor where I just use one color, Payne's Gray.  Ever since I painted the monochromatic chicken posted earlier, while working under my first teacher Louise, I have wanted to try doing another painting using that technique.  This painting was a lot more challenging than the chicken, was a great exercise in color value, and I really like the results.  The original color photo, if I recall correctly, was one I found in a Birds & Blooms magazine.
