Peach Cattalaya Oils 36" x 42" painting size This painting and the one below were created as part of a commission. My client wanted to fill their new home with flowers. I photographed this orchid at the American Orchid Society of Palm Beach County. "The Peach Cattalya" was a lush flower at the height of its beauty and easy to paint. |

Candy Striped Phalenopis Oil 50"x24" "The Candy Striped Phaleanopis" was a difficult flower to paint. I struggled against its stripes to capture the flower's form. |

Pink Orchid Royalty Oils 36" x 24" painting size A deep black background shows off the velvety texture and structural form of the two seductive orchids, the Phalaenopsis. The color of these orchids is a brilliant hot pink. |

Pink Jungle Orchids Oil 50"x24" I chose to create a more decorative look with this pink Phalaenopsis, opting for a an interesting pattern of leaves behind the orchids. Although the leaves create almost a feeling of wallpaper, the pattern has depth and hopefully does not take away from offsetting the orchids. |

White Wedding Orchids Oil 50"x24" I love to paint white orchids because the light reflected creates so many colors. You can see the shades of greens, blues, yellows, reds, oranges and purple grays. These orchids are called Cattleyas. I call this painting "White Wedding Orchids" because the delicate ruffles remind me of a wedding dress. |

White Orchid Trio Oil 50"x32" painting size Like the painting above I chose a white orchid for its reflective nature. I also enjoyed painting the background. Here I tried to achieve a complimentary setting to the bright whites of the flowers but I hope the viewer appreciates the colors and senses a feeling of stained glass that tried to achieve. |
