“Orchid”6×6 watercolor
I am currently visiting in Southern California partly business but mostly pleasure – the pleasure of being warm, surrounded by food I enjoy and of course friends and family.
I had the opportunity to paint a quick commission for a business which I was pleased to do the day before a sudden eye procedure I underwent during the first week of my vacation. A casual visit with my Mom’s ophthalmologist brought to our attention a rip in my retina which was a result of a detached vitreous from 2 years ago. I thought just in case worse case scenario takes place, I’d like to know I painted something successfully. Anyway, the procedure was 2 days ago and I’m feeling as if nothing happened already; I am glad I was in capable hands.
Here is the painting framed and ready for delivery! I think it will be a nice addition to their intimate lobby. It’s a business by two sisters. One makes silk orchid arrangements and the other has an orchid nursery.
Happy Easter to all my readers! Please excuse my absence, tax time is busy because I am not the most organized person with paperwork so an elaborate scavenger hunt ensues LOL We are also (hopefully) going to be busy with remodeling of our computer area which will eventually become … basically a “work playroom” for computers, painting and music making. Wish us luck!
Happy Easter my dear friend. I’m glad your back to tip top eye form. Great commission! I want work like that! Happy Easter to you too.
Thank you my dear friend hope you’re enjoying some of this California sunny day I’m having dwon south xox

Glad your eye is okay! Such a pretty painting! Wish I was back in California too!
wonderful, CD. colors, freshness, and even the frame! Hope you bring back lots of orchid photos for this series! When ya coming back?
Beautiful Orchid painting! I just love the colors. I’m so glad that you had your eyes checked and now fixed up. Hope the laser treatment didn’t hurt at all. Rest up!!
By the way, I just went to my facebook and found out that you gave me a gift. Thank you! Am still trying to figure out how things work over there. lol
I like this one so much, and what a frame, frames add a lot to paintings in general, and maximize the beauty of a beautiful painting!
i’m so happy that your eyes are better now, take care of ’em!
I like the beautiful bright color of the Orchid! I was wondering where you were. Hope all is well with your eyes!
Hi Erika, It was so very nice to meet you and paint with you today. This is a wonderful piece of art. Love the color and composition.
