Paint Party Friday - Kay's Orchid

Welcome to Paint Party Friday! This piece is entitled 'Kay's Orchid' as she kindly allows me to paint her lovely photographs. I was inspired by this one here for this piece.  It had deceptively simple lines and turned out to be more difficult that I thought!   It's acrylic on textured grey cardstock (8 1/2" h x 11"w).

So well done, Christine! It may have been challenging, but you took it on and won!

Agreed that it needs to be on textiles, as well as cardstock!

Beautiful. I would love to know how to paint the water (in the photo) on the flower. I love water, but then I'm a water baby. Reflections are the best. Blessings, Janet PPF
