Hey Steemians!

Week 40 of #zencolouringcontest starts now!

Each week I will provide a stencil to be coloured in with no restrictions on the medium used, with a chance to win 45% of this posts payout and the weeks' donations for 1st place.

To add a little twist and interaction within the community, there will be a featured colour each week, picked at random from entrant's choices. This colour must be used in some way in your interpretation (use as little or as much of the featured colour as you like).

The featured colour this week is Pink
Below is a screen capture of the random picker's selection:

This week the inspiration of the stencil is Spring and flowers, more specifically, Tulips. All flowers have meaning behind them but the Tulip has the most, which are based around the colour they are. In Victorian times men would give woman specific colours depending on their feelings. Red means undying love and passion, Pink are for friendship and joyful occasions, Purple are nobility and Spring, White means sincerity and worthiness, Blue are tranquility and trust, Orange represents understanding and appreciation, Black means strength and supreme elegance, Yellow are for cheerful thoughts and hope!

This weeks featured colour is Pink, Friendship and Joyful Occasions. What other colours will you choose to pair with them? Please feel free to use all the colours that reflect how you currently feel or make the bouquet represent one you'd give to someone you love!

Have fun, but most importantly have a relaxing zen-colouring sesh!

        Thank you! Yes, very spring like. I'm jealous of you though - we get the snow here in Wyoming, but we don't get to keep it.

          It is. I just wish we kept our snow. They do over in Yellowstone, but that's a long ways from where we are - Casper.
