Yellow Lily, watercolor (5×7), 2007

I took my exam on Monday and got a 94, which gave me such a feeling of satisfaction. I never have to worry about taking it again, which is nice. The best part is getting to do my own things after work without worrying about studying and practicing sample tests. Now I will have more time to work on art!

This is a watercolor painting of a lily that I did on a blank greeting card a few months ago. I remember that my hands were in intense pain when I did it and at the time I was surprised that it turned out so well. Now that my hands are in good shape again I can do more detailed work, but I really like the looseness of this piece.
