UP NEXT~

I should be finished with my Lily Pond paintings by the end of the weekend. I have also finished a second teacup painting, and will be finishing my cup of coffee on red this evening. So much to do, so little time.

Spring is here, the trees and blooming around Charlotte. I will have to take time to drive around and take pictures. They are all so pretty.

I am still planing to do a series of painting from my porch. The weather is just perfect and the porch is ready to go!

Thanks for stopping by,

The Orchid and the Dragon

8" x 10" Acrylic on Gallery Wrapped Canvas

~Sold~

I have just finished "The Orchid and the Dragon"

I bought an Orchid at Lowes one year. When the blooms died, I sat the little pot near the window in my studio. It had just two leaves draped slightly over the pot. I watered it when it was dry and my little clay pot with two leaves kept me company. Slowly, there came two more leaves.....and then this little stalk started winding its way out of the little clay pot. I really don't know how long it took to bloom, but I was so proud when four blossoms came. The flowers lasted for quite some time sitting on the mantle in the living room. I took several reference photos, I was so proud of my little orchid. The blooms have long since died and the little orchid had to be transplanted into a larger clay pot. It is once again getting watered regularly at the window in my studio, waiting patiently for another bloom.

The teacup is from a Dragonware tea service that belonged to my grandmother.

This painting is also available for purchase directly from my gallery using the link above or in my Etsy.com store.

Well, I had better get busy.

Thanks for stopping by!
