From our visit to the National Arboretum

Bob and I went to the 64th Annual Orchid Show at the National Arboretum this morning.  I took over 500 photos to use as references for paintings.  Here are a few paintings from those reference photos.

Green Orchid

Bonsai Shadows

Gathering Pollen

Phase two of the Geisha

My geisha is about finished.  I could not get the same effects that I did with superimposing the palm fronts over her photo, but I think these fronds look pretty,  Now, she will sit on the mantle for a few days while I decide if she needs more or if she is ready to frame.
