Wonderful painting! I have purchased several plants and they are doing well but haven't bloomed yet. I hope to get some great reference photos. This painting inspires me to pamper the ugly little plants - lol.
I'm way behind on blog reading, so I was relieved to see you have been *judicious* in your posting! Love all the florals you've shown in the past few posts!! Fabulous!!
I hope this note gets through. My comments haven't lately -- and I love your airport orchids too. This is absolutely gorgeous like everything you turn your hand to. Magic.
unbelievable in every way: the handling of the colours, the wonderful composition and of course the size: i keep trying to visualise it in front of me in that size and it delights!!
I'm glad you could not say no that day. Otherwise we'd have missed out on something as beautiful as this. Great job. I look forward to seeing its mate. -Don
I absolutely LOVE this!!!! And to add to what all have said... WOW. So delicate and lovely colors. I'm glad you spent the money and brought the plant home as a reference to paint. :)
