Orchid Interior

Cattleya Orchid

11x8.5 watercolor on Kilimanjaro 140 lb cold press paper done last week; this is fellow artist Dewi's orchid and I hope I have done it justice here in a direct painting style, wet on dry. This floral is entered in the Florals forum for August challenge. COPYRIGHT 2020 Kay Smith

Bee Orchid

11x8.5 watercolor on Stonehenge 140 lb hot press paper done last week; photo courtesy WetCanvas. This specimen was growing in the wild and I liked its inner beauty as shown by its interior.

Only Orchids

11x15 watercolor on Canson 140 lb cold press paper done today.  The plant belongs to fellow artist Joanne who featured its image on our last weekend drawing event on WetCanvas.  Participants have 2 hours to choose what to paint and do it.  It took me an hour and if a background had been put in it would've been longer.

Woodland Orchids

11x7.5 watercolor on 140 lb cold press paper, some colorful negative painting resembling orchids.  Look closely to see many layers of light and dark leaves and stems.
