    Fleur De Lis

    Discussion 
    Fleur De Lis was entered in the International Artist Magazine for the Floral & Gardens Competition in October 2018 and was among the top 10 winners. This is a must for all artist to enter! I took a picture in a friends garden and cropped and printed it out then drew it on a black gessoed canvas and painted it with Sennelier Oil Pastel
