Hi all,
We were down in San Jan Capistrano last weekend and I came across these water lilies in the Mission area. They were so colorful and reminded me of Monet’s famous water lily collection I had viewed earlier in the year whilst visiting the de Young in San Francisco, so I gave it a bit of a painterly feel. Hope you like it…

Hope you like it and I’m working on some extended versions with a Latin/Cuban flavor.
The picture was taken in the colorful town of La Boca, Buenos Ares, Argentina outside of a Tango Cafe…
Thanks for taking a listen and if you like it share it 🙂
