Orchids, Oil on Canvas quick painting

Orchids, Oil on Canvas 24"x 18"

Quick painting, hrmph..like I really have a choice! Being a single parent and fitting in some artwork is difficult. But I manage, all it requires from me are some small sacrifices, like..social life, shopping, gardening, a life, sleep, personal hygiene and sanity, to name a few.
         I am predominantly working on figure paintings at the moment but thought I would do a quick painting of my orchid while waiting for layers on the new figure to dry..and with a bit of luck a wallop of inspiration to smack me in the noggin.

That looks very delicate Samantha. I hope people realise that if they click the image they can see it much larger. It's good to see your brush strokes; the colours look spot-on too.

With all the sacrifices you're making, you make me feel quite guilty. I've got to stop daydreaming and get back into my painting.

I forgot to say (ref previous deleted post) Yeah! I need a good smack in the noggin too.

I think you're turning into a cockney.
