"Purple Orchid"

I am always looking round for something to paint and I didn't notice this little beauty sitting on my kitchen window sill. It took me to break it off by mistake to give thought to painting it. Again, I really enjoyed doing this ... I'm just happy as long as I have a paintbrush in my hand!

Thank you Keith:) I always remember it was one of the things we talked about in your studio. At the time it didn't make a huge amount of sense but it sure does now ... thank you!

You are so right BJ ... if we only look at what is in front of our noses! Thank you! :)

Love the simple beauty of this - especially how the shadows echo the plant. Gorgeous xx
