Title
Chinese Wild Orchid 1
Artist

Medium
Painting - Watercolor
Description
*NEW* - Watercolor on Arches #140 watercolor paper. This painting is 12" x 18". Absolutely beautiful and delicate orchid. This is the first of a series I have begun on my favorite flower, the Orchid. Orchids have been cultivated in China for over 2,500 years, since before the time of Confucius, yet the Chinese orchid flora is still incomplete. New species continue to be added to the estimated 1,300 native species. On each painting I will include a simple phrase, written in Chinese. On this particular painting, the symbols drawn translate: "Prosperity Blooming"

Judy thank you so much. I love painting orchids - any size, any shape. There's just something about the orchid that brings me peace and joy. I'm glad you like it!
