Look What Followed Me Home Today !

Cattleya Orchid Dinard "Blue Heaven"

Yep !  Was out and about today and this beauty somehow followed me home !   It is really a pale lavender color and this one will definitely be painted with oils on a good size canvas.   Well,  12" x16" or 16" x 20" maybe.   I took a few quick photos of it earlier today and will take more photos tomorrow perhaps with some background print material and some still life objects. I did not attempt that today because I painted for awhile.  Below are some other lavender orchids that I photographed at various places on Oahu.   Enjoy!

Truly hope I find time to paint all of the above reference photos.   Let me know if you have any flower photos of your own that you would like me to capture in oils on canvas; send me an email for information.

Today I worked on the 4"x4" water hyacinth and started 2 new miniature still life paintings.   Stay tuned!

What do these two photos have in common?  Nothing at first glance!   But they were both taken at the Honolulu zoo and both images were recently posted here for interested collectors to purchase as prints and notecards at Fine Art America.  At this site you can chose the size and format you desire, whether a "flat" print (framed or unframed) or on gallery wrap canvas.   Please visit my site there at the above link provided for a selection of my paintings as well as my photographs to choose from to add to your art collection. 

Not only do I miss painting, I also miss photographing various things of interest here in Hawaii. I am so looking forward to being able to create and paint once again, hopefully in August.   Please continue to visit here with me in the meantime as I will continue to post photos and any art related news and events of interest.
