Paint Party Friday - Orchid and Vase

Thanks to Kristin and Eva for being such gracious hostesses week after week. What a great party. We've even survived a blog outage this weekend!

I saw this beautiful vase in the newspaper shortly before Mother's Day, it's made from lucite by artist Cec LePage. It inspired today's work.

Remember to check out the other Paint Party Friday contributions this week!
