May 2014: Botanicals Theme

"When you take a flower in your hand and really look at it, it's your world for the moment. I want to give that world to someone else. Most people in the city rush around so, they have no time to look at a flower. I want them to see it whether they want to or not." - Georgia O'Keeffe

May’s Art Competition and Exhibition theme is "Botanicals Beauty". A call to artists is announced for the artist’s interpretation of the botanical and floral theme.
