Phalaenopsis Orchid by David Lyon

Wow, Awesome..

A beautiful botanical painting

Delightful.

Wonderful detail and colour!

Very crisp and cleanly painted. Excellent!

This is superb! Is it watercolour

Skilfully painted,was the detail done with pen?

I've got a Phalaenopsis just like this one. these look very realistic...I like it

Beautiful detail on your orchids David.

Thanks everyone for your very kind comments. I really enjoyed painting these flowers to capture the details, whilst at the same time trying to make them look as 3D as possible. To Anne C - yes it is painted with watercolour, and to Anne E - no I did not use a pen. All the detail is done with a very fine brush (and a steady hand ☺️). I am so glad you like it.

This is wonderful, a perfect orchid.

Really super. The way you have painted the petals are especially impressive.

Brilliant David.

So beautiful
