Orchid bloom...

My orchid is finally blooming again. They are beautiful flowers, but they spend half the year being a stick with a few leaves at the bottom. When they do bloom though, they are absolutely gorgeous. I really like how this one stands out from the black background, with the fun play of the striped cloth and the leaves of the spider plant.

   Thanks everyone. I don’t paint many still lives these days, but this was a fun one. Glad you all like it.

   Really lovely light. I love the feeling of light filtering through the spider plant.
