Another lesson

... in oil painting, that is.  Here's the result.

Colmanara Wildcat 'TOW'

The buds are finally bursting into blooms.  This orchid is one of the better known intergeneric orchids created from more than one genus.

My first effort

I had my first oil painting class and this is the result ...

Brassidium Fangtastic 'Kalapana'

A potential 'True Blood' fan favorite?

Psychopsis Mendenhall 'Hildos'

One of my favorite orchids.  A flower spike can reach up to two to three feet.  The flowers come out one at a time.  Interestingly, it may not be unusual for the same flower spike to produce flowers continuously for a dozen or more years!
