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!

    Very nice painting. It's always nice to get inspired by something or someone and then get to work on creating something. Good job! Have a great weekend.

    you're welcome Annette.

    Annabelle, thanks for the tree suggestion. The leaves are a bit different than viburnum so the search goes on!
