 Welcome, artistic friends and visitors to Monet Cafe. Alright, pardon me while I'm like a proud parent now, but I wanted to share our contest winners that we have in our Monet Cafe Facebook group. Here is this month's winner, Tai Ming Lim. And the winner gets their painting featured as our group header. So this particular month's challenge in November was the category of night scenes, also called knock turns. And what happens each month is every artist in our Facebook group has the opportunity to upload a piece of artwork going along with the monthly theme. And we divide the group, the submissions to the group into two categories, either advanced or beginner. So you're seeing a mixture of all of these. They just put in their little comment whether they're an advanced or a beginner. But I want to share some of the advanced category honorable mentions right now because they're so gorgeous. You know, I often share how hard this task is that I have each month to have to choose one painting from each category because it's truly so difficult. I mean, just look at these, they're absolutely beautiful. So just enjoy these honorable mentions and then you'll get a better look at the winner for the advanced category at the end of this. And then stay tuned because I'm going to share some of the beginner category entries and the winner of the beginner category. And here is the advanced category winner who actually submitted two pieces that are gorgeous. So congratulations to Ty Ming Lim and your painting is going to be featured as our group header for our Facebook group. And now I'd like to say congratulations to our beginner category winner, Jan Ladvina. It might be Jan Ladvina. Sorry, we have artists from all over the world. I may not get your names right, but I'm so proud of you. Look at some of these other beginner submissions to our monthly challenge. I mean, really beautiful work for beginners. And what I did is I went ahead and included in this presentation everyone who submitted as a beginner to our contest to be in this video. And I apologize if I missed anyone, there were a lot of paintings to go through. So if your painting was not entered here, my greatest apologies. But anyway, just enjoy these beautiful paintings and I share them not only to say how proud I am of all of you, but also so that if you're just a member of our or a subscriber of our Monet Café YouTube channel, that you'll be encouraged no matter how beginner you are, that you know, it's always cool and okay to join our Facebook group and feel among friends and family. You get so many artists who are willing to help and everyone is welcome. So sit back, relax, enjoy the rest of these beautiful beginner paintings and hopefully I'll have some more video tutorials coming soon. I've got a lot on the burner.
