Summer of Color - Citron Green and Turquoise

It's time for the Kristin's Summer of Color challenge!  It's Citron Green and Turquoise this week.  I did  a Father's Day card (5 1/2"w x 4 1/4"h) in watercolour pencils and black fine point marker.  I was inspired by a recent Prada ad in the newspaper, it featured a magnificent sailboat.
