Here's the other Orchid

I decided to go ahead and paint the other Orchid since I had drawn and blocked it in. I haven't put the Minwax protective varnish on yet. I love doing that part. It really yummies it up! I used Matisse Southern Ocean blue acrylics for the background. The texture in both paintings shows up but it's hard to see it in the photos.
