WOW! That is fantastic!
I'd love to be able to draw a good stick figure...forget about stuff like this! 
The first picture looks like a quilt...did you work from that? Did you make that?  Gorgeous! |

WOW is right! That is really awesome! I love the bird eating the moth, and the detail of the root tip in the last close-up. Bravo!

Very nice Home Grown.
If your in my area, we have an orchid art competition held in conjunction with our orchid society annual show. That would be great to see.

That is just amazing!!!  I do a bit of water color myself, and am quite good at drawing, but I could never do something like you. How long did this painting take you to finish?

Thank you!
This painting took me about 4 weeks from start to finish. My inspiration was a photo of this species by Ed Merkle, who was nice to let me use his picture as reference.
Sorry for my large photo!  |
