Bob's Orchid

9 x 12 "
oil on panel

I see these in my bedroom every morning when I wake up. These are my husband's and they are blooming for the second time since he bought the plant last fall. I thought they would make a great subject for a painting but I wondered how hard it would be to paint them, as the blossoms are somewhat complex and since I've not painted many flowers. Now I know, they weren't easy. I need practice with the leaves. Overall, I think I like it.
