Junk Yard Orchid
Sunday's are proving to be my experimental days I am finding out. I used just about every technique in the book to make this painting. It's on watercolor paper using acrylic, molding paste, gouache, patina (antiquing solution), gel pens, good leaf bits of paper...what else? I really love orchids, so don't be surprised if you see a few other paintings with these flowers in them. I call this "Junkyard Orchid" because I feel like I used every random bit and scrap of old paper I had in my files. I found that dragonfly on a piece of paper under my bed (along with the dust bunnies) and gel-transferred it onto the paper. I took this picture at night using a flash which causes the detail to be lost and for the image to look stark. I find that paintings are best photographed in daylight, so I am going to retake this picture and repost at some point.
