"White Orchids" is my most-recently completed painting. The photograph it's based on was one I had taken quite a few years ago at the American Orchid Society gardens and didn't know what to do with. One day, thinking I might create a website for myself, I got to looking at other artists' websites. A painting of calla lilies with an orange-coral background Laurie Snow Hein had on her website inspired me to paint the orchids in my photograph using a similar background. It's always amazing to me how looking at other artists' work can get my creative juices flowing - even when the results are totally different!
