I haven't been completely idle

I have finally finished that painting of the orchids that I began some weeks ago.  The pot that the plant is in did not come out exactly as I envisioned, but that's ok.  I'm pleased with the result in general.

Merry Christmas!!

30 Days of Drawing #4 (inspiration and a work in progress)

So, after a few days of Zentangle I decided that I really wanted to pick up my paint brushes and tackle my watercolor practice. 

My sweet brought home a lovely orchid for me and I really want to try to capture it.  

Paints are M Graham and Daniel Smith, Paper is Canson 100 300lb cold-press, rough.
