A great subject and, being a lover of line it really appeals to me. It reminds me of a set of postage stamps issued by Malawi back in the 1960s which I have always admired. Of all your works it's probably my favourite.

Eye-catching painting Satu, I really like the colours

Wow!! A real beauty here... the outline is superb and the touches of ultramarine? bring it to life.... you won't have it around for very long. Love it.

Thank you very much Michael, Kay, Petra and Avril! Kay, my orchid looks half dead with only three leaves,well two and a half, but it keeps flowering twice a year so I haven't thrown it away. Should I move it into a bigger pot? Avril, the blues are Cobalt and Ultramarine.

I really like the no fuss outline. An original idea with well chosen colour Satu.

I love the simplicity of your designs Satu - so effective!

Less is more, Satu. This is a real eye-catcher. I love the pure "symplicity" of it!

Thank you so much Carole, Christine and Mia! Kay, mine is on the north facing window, doesn't get too much water but not much feeding either. That might be the reason. Thanks!

I missed this one Satu, another very elegant painting.

Thank you Sian and Fiona!!

An other " smallie" coming here. £30cm x 30cm canvas. I saw the shadow of my half dead orchid on the wall, drew it directly on canvas and then only painted the outlines.
