PAPHIOPEDILUM - MMVII

My dear friends N & L have a beautiful home and garden here in the 90210.

Mr. N Has quite a green thumb and his collection of Paphiopedilum, really put on a crowd pleasing show every year. Ive been waiting for more of the blooms to open up to get the full impact of the collection and Mr. N's fantastic display.



I can't wait to get started on paintings and drawings of these specimens as a large group and individually. I'm thinking BIG on this project.
BIG WATERCOLORS, BIG DRAWINGS!!!


It is amazing how the same blooms can look so delicate and soft...


And then so dynamic and bold depending on the light and angles.


Check back soon to how the works come along. Be sure t look at the "previous posts / archives" for more images of my work.
Merci to N & L.
