I am not an artist who paints flowers. Also, I am not an artist who says never, cannot, won’t or any
other words of restraint. When I
stumbled across these fabulous, GOD given Vietnam orchids, their incredible
beauty was so inspiring I was compelled to paint them. Always up for a challenge, I had no idea how
difficult these orchids were to paint. After painting the first orchid, which I
am so proud of, I made a decision to paint a series of orchids. There are hundreds of varieties of
orchids. The choice of which to ones to
paint will be difficult. I present to
you my first artwork of an orchid.

to keep a secret”
Overcoming the challenging of painting my
first orchid, painting the second orchid was pure joy. I am painting a series of these beautiful
flowers and will share them with you.
