Orchid Dance, 2012, Jo-Ann Sanborn

acrylic on board, 5x7"

Try as I might, I can't the glare out of this painting.  But the orchids are lovely this year and the blooms are abundant. 

 I'm enjoying them all around the house.  Like many places, we've had a mild winter, and they already think it's Spring.

 

You can almost watch them opening.

Even the little guys are cute. 

I love having fresh flowers around the house, and almost always do. A small bouquet from the grocery helps bring a little sunshine in. For an artist, flowers bring extra pleasure. There's the pleasure of the selecting or growing, and the pleasure of the painting them, too
