Orchids on Gold, 7x5


These orchids are on a metallic gold background. I find orchids hard to paint. Matching the colors is not easy, for one thing. I do love the way they have such fantastic blooms on the end of long skinny stems. They are also beautiful to me when they aren't staked up, but just hang gracefully.

    Beautiful! It has an Asian feel to it. What a great idea for the background!

    Orchids are some of my most favorite flowers. Love the pinks against the gold, Ms. Carmen. Beautiful color combination!
