Terrific richness and depth of colour here Jeanne and that kind of waxiness that orchids appear to have coming through. It is a mesmerising painting.

Thank you so very much, Sheila! This particular subject is new to me, and I must admit that I'm particularly pleased with the results. In fact, the painting seemed to move quite smoothly and quickly right from the start. It's the first of a pair of commissioned paintings. Thank you so much for your lovely and insightful comments! Jeanne
