For over a week I haven’t had a clue what to paint next. I was thinking weathered tree knots or rocks on the beach; something with a lot of texture. Well, as you can see, what I ended up doing was the complete opposite of that.
I decided to try a simple, white orchid after a fellow Society6 artist, Jacqueline Maldonado, mentioned that my Calla Lilies had an O’Keefe feel. Ok, first off, that’s a HUGE compliment! And secondly, Georgia O’Keefe’s flowers are some of my favourite paintings. This is my first try at an orchid and it certainly will not be my last. Hmm, maybe a series is in the works.
White Orchid, watercolour, 2011
You can purchase prints of this piece on my Society6 page. There are t-shirts, iPhone, iPod and laptop items available too!
That is gorgeous! I love it!
Emily, thank you so much!
