Original Watercolor painting of the orchid species by Rose Ganucheau
Work: 22" x 30"
When I first saw this head of glossy chocolate-red twisty-curvy schomburgkias, I simply HAD to paint it.
I soon realized how crazy I was to take on a challenge of this scope.
But still I painted on.
For hours and hours, and days and days I kept telling myself "Just STOP!, You'll NEVER finish it.
But still I painted on.
I found myself hoping against hope that the flowers would simply shrivel up and dry....
But NO...they stayed as fresh as the day they opened.
And still I painted on.
and then...
one day...
it was done.
