Lotus without water lillies, Monet

I wondered around a university campus last week.The lotus leaves reminded me of one of my favourite painters- Claude Monet, who loved to draw water lilies around his house in Giverny, France.
Today is the first day of Ox Year, I wish all of you have a happy Ox Year!!!!

- Water Lilies, 1919, Monet, now in Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York.

Happy New Year! I intended to go to Chinatown today to check out the celebrations, but I am still so tired from my flight from LA, and so jetlagged! I just ended up falling asleep in my school's library :P
