Aloha Orchid



Aloha Orchid
15x22 (1/2 sheet)
Watercolor


Aloha! My sister-in-law Noreen, just came back from a 14 day cruise to Hawaii, Lucky girl! She has a zillion photo's to process but chose this lovely orchid for us to paint. I actually was surprised that Noreen brought this over because I thought she was coming over to finish up a Cala Lily painting we started at Birgit O'Conner's workshop a previous weekend (will be posting soon after I finish it!). I love surprises and this was fun to paint.

    I'm jealous of Noreen too and I don't even know her. You did a spectacular job on this Sheila! A large format is difficult for me but it seems to be your forte!

    Sheila, This is beautiful I love the way you used the light. Your painting is better than the photograph.
